It definitely is an interesting fact that Asia/Tokyo is traditionally observed in a country other than Japan.
It is not that 'Asia/Tokyo' 'is observed in another country', but simply that the set of rules just happen to match in both locations ... as with many rule sets. What has to be appreciated more generally is that the 'Asia/Tokyo' tag does not identify any particular country, but simply a set of timezone rules as all tags do. ANY association with a country is added outside of the tz data set.
