Technology develops separately according to where and how you live. People create technologies to respond to perceived social and environmental needs, and there's no "forward" or "backward" motion to it, unless a particular society decides that there is.
Second, how do we compare technology? To quote an AH flair who has deleted their original account, You can imagine that there were vast technological gaps within Southeast Asia too. Vietnam is part of East Asia and shares far more with Korea than with Myanmar, Myanmar is much more similar to Sri Lanka than to Aceh, Aceh would have identified more with the Ottomans than with Laos, and so on.
First, where in Southeast Asia are we talking about? Southeast Asia is a geographic term, not a cultural one. Well, there are two issues we need to face first. TL DR: At least for firearms technology, it depends, but generally speaking I'd say yes.
