Qantas made up rules aside, the OP's Asia segments do not exceed Asia's maximum of 4. Per the oneworld rules 4 (h) shown below (bolding of "
flight" is from oneworld Explorer rules) and per my personal experience, surface sectors DO count against one's total 16 segments but do NOT count against each continent's maximum free number of flight segments within each continent.
"A minimum of 3 and maximum of 16 segments, including surface segments between any 2 airports, are permitted for the entire journey. Free
flight segments within each continent are limited as follows:"
So in the case of the Asia flight segments shown by the OP, on a non-CAI ticket one could add one more segment assuming there wasn't another Asia segments prior to
KUL-NRT 11SEP and the 16 total segments limit isn't exceeded.
