Technically, yes, as that is part of Asia. However, no, it is never used like that. There isn't really a non-offensive word that groups people from that region. Like Most of the mid-east is in Asia (I say most since Egypt, etc, are often considered part of the mid-east) but people from there are called "Middle Eastern", not "Asian." For countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma, etc, there isn't really a term to call those people aside from "Indian, Pakistani, etc" respectively.
