True. Someone else pointed out that some call it async work instead.
I've never heard companies say they're async though, only remote. The two seem to be conflated most of the time.

If you have offices in the US and offices in Europe--much less Asia--you may have some hopefully not too inconvenient real-time calls. But you'll probably do a lot of things asynchronously. (And even within an office or within a country, a lot of people travel, have customer meetings, etc. so they're often just not immediately available.
