Uh, do the folks running the Asian equivalent of a "Hacker Space" use the word "Hacker Space"?
Is there an equivalent of a "hacker space" in every culture in the world? Could this be like asking "where is the USA's professional Starcraft league?" [1]

It's really nice that the hacker concept is as international as it is. (Thank you, giant worldwide Internet!) But I wouldn't be astonished to find that it is not perfectly cross-cultural. Especially since the idea of a "hacker space", by that name, is only a few years old. (Before that it might have been called a "ham radio shack" or a "model railroad club", or perhaps a "Homebrew Computer Club".)
I assume that lots and lots of Asian hackers are busy building lots and lots of Asian-language products to serve lots and lots of Asian-language-speaking customers.

[1] Man, I wish we had a pro Starcraft league. But I wish, much more strongly, that we had Korean-quality high-speed internet.
