No - most Asian nations did not recognize the South Vietnam govt propped up by Western powers. India for example supported Vietnamese independence from the French and recognized the PRG - Provisional Revolutionary Government which was the resistance movement in South Vietnam.
At any rate, even the US vetoed Vietnamese membership to the UN in 1975 - after losing the War.

I would not say "most". Thailand, Laos, SK, Philippines, Singapore did.
>US vetoed Vietnamese membership to the UN in 1975 - after losing the War.
Because the war was still ongoing, between North and South at that time. They merged in 1976 and US voted in favor of membership in 1977.
