I am an indonesian who lives in US. You are half right.
The problem is that internet is scarce and they rely on
mobile phone for almost anything, which explains why
RIM is doing so well there (Blackberry Messenger package bundled in their phone services)
They are used to short messages like twitter, sms, bbm.
No, facebook's decline is not the case here.
Twitter seems to be quite dominant overall in Asia, possibly for cultural reasons (Facebook is such a western-thought design). In Japan for instance Twitter took off long before Facebook did, and is still much bigger today.
