There's still no law for lootboxes in Japan (but have some regulation by industry) so many gacha games still being released. Discussion at congress is minor AFAIK. I suspect that China also haven't completely forbid lootboxes at least, since they also still operate such games. (But anyway China strictly manages releasing games)

Netherlands is perhaps the furthest in the process. I think at least lost ark is not available in steam for dutch users.

Correct. Diablo Immortal was not even launched here because of this.
