How about the other low cost ones in Europe? Do they issue one? I am asking this because a lot of countries are now asking for a return ticket when you fly in. Anyone can get a PNR or a Booking reference without actually buying a ticket and show it to the airline or the immigration on arrival. So if airlines like Air Asia does not issue a ticket number and only a PNR how do they differentiate between an actual ticket and only a booking reference?

Just wondering as I have seen on some other forums people trying to use fake bookings or refundable tickets to get into some countries that needs a return ticket for the immigration.

As digital nomads our plans are never set, so when we fly into one of those countries we book an onward ticket less than 24 hours before our arrival and print the itinerary. Once we pass immigration we cancel it under the 24-hour rule.
The only place where we have ever been asked for the printed onward itinerary, though, was New Zealand.

Print out the booking confirmation, it will show that you are booked on the return flight. In Europe most (all?) low cost airlines are ticketless, and most bookings are non-refundable, easyjet also give you the option to print a payment receipt.
