There is that, but Japan definitely has potable water (as does Korea, Singapore, maybe Hong Kong). Also SE Asian countries don't bother with hot water as much as northeastern ones, but they generally don't have potable water regardless.

The airport in Beijing has a hot water dispenser but I've never seen anyone use it.

Hong Kong had plenty of drinking fountains in parks etc, usually with a sign showing it had been recently inspected for hygiene.

The parks in Shenzhen have water fountains too, including low-level taps for pet bowls (so it doesn't splash on them and scare them)
