Yes, this is it, thank you. I finally figured out which company they are talking about and found some English references using ASEAN/Oceania. (ASEAN is an acronym, that's why all capital.)

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  KathyT: My guess, too. 'China' is listed in its own category, so "Asia" can't be used. ASEAN covers 10 Southeast Asian countries, with Oceania covering the rest of the Pacific.

アセオセ
Asean Oceania


Explanation:
"ase" is Asean shortened
"ose" is Oceania shortened
Japanese have a tendency to take the first two characters of a word to shorten their words, e.g. "ake-ome" = akemashite omedeto gozaimasu = Haooy New Year
