By "Asian American" do they mean Americans of Chinese descent or what? Does it include Filipinos? Thai? Afghans? It is an odd term.

For purposes of college admissions, it includes everyone whose ethnicity is from an Asian country - East, Southeast and South Asians. Afghanistan is in a bit of a gray zone between the Middle East and Asia.

The middle east excluding Africa is still Asia in fact the Middle East was Asia before China was Asia.
