FWIW, we (ISC) do have SNS DNS nodes via one of our network partners (ns3.isc-sns.info) in Hong Kong and Singapore so they are in region, but it's dependent on the routing table and your ISP's peering arrangements.  For example Telstra routes it all back to the US; Optus, Vocus & AAPT among others routes it to the Asian nodes.  

YMMV. (I'll save folks the peering politics lecture)
