I know for United and some other airlines, you can earn any number of miles but won't get any elite status until you have a boarded a minimum number of flights operated by them (In United's case, 4). Does Asiana have this same requirement? I can't find anything that says so on their website.

I haven't thought about it before, but lifetime status at 500k miles is indeed pretty good.
Too bad OZ status doesn't really give you any other meaningful benefits other than the standard *G benefits.

The answer is very simple, "zero". You either pay for a higher booking class that let you earn the miles on OZ metal or you actual (number of) boarding on OZ flights which will counts you towards status.
IF anyone can earn status by flying 0 "reward" miles on OZ, why would anyone pay for a higher booking classes?
Would you earn a status by flying on OZ which earns 0 "reward" miles on SQ metal or not?

Asiana Club is much less complicated than US airlines' mileage programmes. For determining status, the miles is based on OZ or *A airlines (# flights is OZ-only). This is one of the main attractions of OZ's FF programme (even if you're not based in Korea, or even fly OZ) because the requirements to maintain Diamond (equivalent to *G) are less onerous than other airlines.
As pointed out earlier, short answer to your question is 'zero'. If an SQ earns no miles on OZ, you get nothing. Have a check of the Asiana Club website to see how much fare classes of *A carriers earn (be careful with SQ; a lot of their promotional fare classes earn no miles even for KrisFlyer, let alone Asiana Club!).
Hope this clarifies.
