That's an extremely broad statement that would cover a huge range of engines made in multiple countries and by differing manufactures. I can't find any Kubota literature stating this recommendation. If this is an issue certainly It would be in the manual. One thing I've found researching oils. You can't believe information posted on well known dealer sites such as Coleman's. They have oil information that conflicts with the Kubota factory web site.

Why do auto parts houses sell brand name coolants labeled "for Asian engines"?
Coolants for Asian engines state specifically that they contain no Silicates or Borate, because (PILOON post #18) they tend to eat internals.
Are you suggesting that is only a sales gimmick?

Coleman's sells Kubota products.
I don't see how there could be any Kubota/Coleman's description conflict.
Simply read the Kubota label on the Kubota product that you buy from Coleman's.

If it made a difference it would be stated in your factory manual. It isn't. Kubota manual recommends long life ethylene glycol based coolants at a 2 year change cycle. Some car manufactures have specific recommendations but Kubota doesn't provide one.

Many of the non-US antifreeze formulations exist because groups feel they have less environmental impact.

Hopefully I am using the correct Asian ant-freeze in my 2001 Tundra beater. Factory original. Well maybe topped off a couple of times with whatever was in the shed.

Bulletin: It does not get cold enough in lower Alabama to freeze your block.

I flushed and refilled last week with Peak Global Lifetime. Compatable with all makes and models worldwide. Haven't decided on interval yet.
