Well, the would-be economic tigers, especially South Korea would have to look further afield for a development model. With weaker Japanese and stronger US influence, they might become free market rather than the semi-statist, (slightly) planned East Asian capitalism of OTL.
Not really. Assuming the same coup happens, Korea will still be the statist capitalist based on the Manchukuo/Occupied Korea model.
