I think someone already mentioned that having ob-asymptote.el within Org
does not require the end users to install anything.

It is sufficient, but I am not sure whether those examples are a good
way to start.
If you want to get acquainted with Asymptote, I suggest that after
setting it up you take a minimal example like the following
#+begin_src asymptote :file result-figure.pdf
size (8cm, 0);
#+end_src
and then use various sources such as the ones below to explore and learn:
- Charles Staats' Asymptote tutorial
https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/asymptote_tutorial.pdf
- Asymptote manual
https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/asymptote.pdf
- Art of Problem Solving forums, which use Asymptote as their built-in
graphics language, e.g.
https://artofproblemsolving.com/community/c5h2782914_another_hexagon_problem
(click on a diagram to see the corresponding Asymptote code).

All the best,
