@Agient thanks for the comparison of the two maps.
So now we know how the Watson coastline will most propably look like. And from that we can exclude pushbaks version. Although we have now some feeling about how big Watson is and from that I would say with the phrases "saw a little bit of Watson" and "The one you saw was Watson" the didn't mean that we haven't seen skylines of othere district like City Center or Heywood.
So think the only possible ideas are from Rawls and Sir_Parsifal. They both have one big diffrens. One say Vs appartment is in Little China and the other in Kabucki.
Kabucki stands for form of Japanese theater so I don't expect there to be so many cultural influence from China. Little China on the othere hand should have manly cultural influence from China. But maybe furthermore there will be cultural influence
from other asian countrys because Little China have been discribed as a melting pod(Sadly, I don't find a reference for that one.)
So we have to decide if the area of Vs appartment looks more like Little China or Kabucki.
Let's look into the 2018 gameplay demo.

Here we see a big gate. Could be a torana, Hongsalmuna, a pailou or a torii. A torana and a Hongsalmuna looks normally diffrent. So I think it is a Chinese pailou or a Japanese torii. Most propably it is a Shinmei torii, because a pailou has in most case three archeways and if they look normally like a Kashima, Kasuga or Hachiman torii.
Furthermore there are laterns in the image. But laterns a common things in China and Japan. Because there aren't any detailed pics of the laterns, I can't see any details that would be a hint to Japan or China.
Next we will go to Misty's Esoterica.

I think here we see incense sticks. This form of incense sticks are again common in China and Japan.

On the left we see a Japanese bonsai or a Chinese penjing/penzai. Because of the simple vase I would tend to a Japanese bonsai.
On the right we could see (but that is more a guess) one of the principal deities of Hinduism. That would hint to Hinduism(so India or Southeast Asia).

This are Maneki-neko. They come frome Japan. But today they are common all over Asia.
In the car schene at 26:17 we can see:

The 亍 is common in Mandarin. But it is uncommon in Kanji. So that could be a hint to China.
As you see, it is often difficult to decide from which cultur something descends. Buy the way I'm not from Asia so take take everythink with a grain of salt. I think one could find many more. But first, that should be enough.
By the way, if Rawls should be correct. Vs appartment could be in this megabuilding.

Edit:
At 27:30 of the 2018 gameplay demo we see

a highway and a mega building.
The highway could be the red one in agients map. Then it would go to Nid and we would meet the agent under a skyway(I hope that is another word for highway) to the Nid as mentioned in the demo.
This could then maybe be the shadow of the megabuilding.
