Some do, but I'd say most don't. SE Asians usually look very distinct from full-blooded Amerinds, though there is some degree of phenotypical overlap. I once mistook a very dark Vietnamese guy for a heavily Amerind Mexican, but he was very atypical individual for Viets even in terms of his facial features as well. Such people are usually more common among Cambodians and Filipinos.

Now, if we are talking about SE Asian mestizos, then yes, several of them could pass with ease.
