Yup. We call it a tsunami because "tidal wave" is technically incorrect. The fact that this one happened to hit in Asia is coincidental.
Aren't tsunamis also more common in the Pacific region because of the "ring of fire" - lots of tectonic/volcanic activity going on there? I know they could happen anywhere, but are they more frequent in the Pacific to start with?
