PFS wise, can all characters buy Eastern armor at all time while present in large enough city such as Absalom?
Only limits I found to this are:
1. Character needs to be proficient with it
2. Eastern armors are included only in Asian oriented campaigns, which sums question again, are PFS scenarios Asian oriented?
This is from PFS Guide:
Equipment:
Every character in Pathfinder Society Organized Play begins the campaign with 150 gold pieces. All of the armor, weapons, and equipment in the Core Rulebook are available for purchase. You may also purchase approved equipment from other Pathfinder books listed on the Additional Resources page at paizo.com/pathfindersociety/resources. Magic items are available for purchase at character creation as long as they are listed in the Always Available Items section in Chapter 5 of this document. Chapter 5 also contains information on purchasing items after you have completed your first adventure scenario, as well as between all the additional scenarios to follow.
Always Available Items:
You may always purchase the following items or equipment so long as you’re in an appropriately sized settlement (see above).
•
All basic armor, gear, items, and weapons from Chapter 6 of the Core Rulebook, including Small and Large-sized items. This does not include equipment made from dragonhide, but it does include equipment made from the other special materials, such as alchemical silver and cold iron (see the Special Materials section on page 154 of the Core Rulebook). All mundane (completely nonmagical) weapons, armor, equipment, and alchemical gear found in any other source that is legal for play are considered always available.
•
+1 weapons (2,000 gp + 300 for the masterwork weapon cost + item cost)
•
+1 armor (1,000 gp + 150 for the masterwork armor cost + item cost)
•
+1 shields (1,000 gp + 150 for the masterwork armor cost + item cost)
•
Potions and oils of 0- or 1st-level spells at caster level 1st (50 gp or less)
•
Scrolls of 0- or 1st-level spells at caster level 1st (50 gp or less)
•
Wayfinder (50% discount—250 gp; see page 299 of The Inner Sea World Guide)
Beyond the gear noted above, your character is restricted to purchasing additional items from his accumulated Chronicle sheets, or by capitalizing on his fame within his faction. Weapons, armor, equipment, magic items and so on that are outside of these lists are not available for purchase at any time.
From what I can see, you can buy eastern armor only on character creation?

The Eastern Armor is mundane equipment that can be found in Ultimate Combat. Additional Resources lists the armor in UC legal for use, so you can buy it at any time per the first bullet point.
Just make sure you have a copy of Ultimate Combat with you (or a print out of the specific page from a watermarked PDF of the book).
