RVSM is about maintaining certain altitude tolerances which has much to do with the Central Air Data Computer, static systems, dual altimeter integrity, automatic altitude (Hold) Control and the inclusion of Mode S transponders for TCAS cabability.

FMS generally has to do with airplane performance, including Thrust Management (Auto Throttles), programmed V-NAV, L-NAV, etc....
