"Typically Asian countries are more high context than Western countries. Think Korea and Japan."
"Low context cultures are process driven. They rely on facts and processes."
Ergo, Korean and Japanese programmers don't rely on facts and processes?

In an unfamiliar situation a westerner is more likely to go it alone, follow the signs and work through the process. Where as an easterner is more likely to seek help and have a knowledgeable person walk them through it. So yeah a western programmer is more than likely going to read the docs, and an eastern programmer is more likely to have a meeting with the stake holders. They both get the job done just in different ways.
