.. but you might have to change your terminal.
My urxvt terminal struggles with Asian fonts while the sakura terminal can properly display them. And then of course the program that you are running in the terminal must also support multibyte fonts (alledgedly cmus does but I haven't tested)

Is possible display properly Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Lao. fonts using some special font from Asia?

Lao? No problem. Lao is supported by Puppy's default font DejaVu Sans, and if you can display ສະບາຍດີ then your terminal most probably can too. If you already have a Chinese font installed then - with a supporting terminal - you should not need language packs or additional fonts to display Chinese song titles in cmus
