From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6430779 seems they did send most of the gold phones to Asia, and all sold out first day.

Still may be a bizarre cultural misunderstanding, as sounds like it's crazy popular everywhere else too.

Expect every smartphone maker make & push gold phones hard after today.

ETA: Note "seems". That's my impression from the link, no hard data seen yet.

I can't find anything in that link that indicates most gold phones went to Asia. Did I miss it?
