Is there cataract surgery available for my eyes in south or southeast asia?

Yes: Yes. You may have to go to a city to get it taken care of since there are limited providers in rural regions.

Yes: Cataract surgery is performed worldwide. In looking at surgeons from different areas, i would investigate that they were performing more modern cataract surgery (phacoemulsification -- using sound waves to break up the lens and remove it through a small incision, usually <3mm). Older methods of removal involve much larger incisions, 8-10 mm, used (appropriately) for denser cataracts.
