You're confused.
First, not everyone thinks of Chinese or Japanese. The English term "Asian" was first used by the British for South Asians and it still is used in the UK. In fact, it comes from Greek word that was used for people in modern day Turkey (then ancient Greece).
Second, that "Central Asian" in the OP is European (no surprise some people are fascinated with him). Central Asia is made up of all the -stan coutnries except for Pakistan. Afghanistan is a mix of both Central and South. Here's a Kazakh beauty queen:
Third, not all West Asians are "Arab." Turkish, Kurdish, Assyrians, most Israelis, etc. are not Arab.

Again, that's false. Asia has 52 countries and East Asia only has 8. Many people think of East Asia first because of American media has been pushing that idea since the 90s.
Also, not all Mongoloid people are East Asian. There are plenty of Southeast Asians, Central Asians and South Asians with Mongoloid ancestry:
