No, that number was entirely based off of Asia's trade company count alone - there are 12 trade companies that are at least partially in Asia (Malacca, Moluccas, and Philippines all have some provinces in Oceania, though you would need to spend absolutely insane amounts of monarch points developing those provinces to ever hope to get the merchants for those companies using only those provinces), plus 3 more that are in Africa. 3-6 European trade companies still puts Asia far behind. The nodes I'd recommend are English Channel, Sevilla, North Sea, Bordeaux, Champagne, White Sea, Novgorod, Baltic Sea, Lubeck, Rhineland, Saxony, and one of the following Wien, Krakow, or boot all of either Moluccas or Philippines into Oceania (and maybe make Australia its own continent so that the handful of Oceania starts can still form colonial nations).
