Confirming for Asia(self representing, and observed)
No, the mass population don't know about anything open source etc.etc. and for tech savvy and geeks, few and mostly think that open source hurts economy and are not feasible.
While LibreOffice has been used by some, people are not aware on open source related projects. One might not recognise the difference between LibreOffice and AOO/OOo and MSO.
Open Source related communities are either small or nonexistent in most Asian countries. Some are due to more alarming real-world problems to deal with or basic human rights(dat big country) and civil rights are not even respected to begin with.
And no, actually it's the Chinese speaking country(Taiwan) that have far more recognition and awareness on Libre Office over other Asian countries and friends that I met and have online.
AOO/OOo has dwindled at Taiwan too, and sure, LibreOffice seems weird at first, but understanding the meaning behind it is enough to convince a user to pronounce it. We have other weird names too. Lots of weird names. //didn't proof read
