The real ALIH foreign player rules are a little difficult to implement because they treat the league's member nations differently. Japanese and Korean players are considered non-foreign for all teams, while Russians are considered foreign on the non-Russian teams. We get close to it by setting Japan as the base nation for the league, which lets Japanese players play anywhere, but that doesn't help the Korean players. However, as a practical matter that's not too unrealistic: the Japanese teams in real life usually don't sign Koreans - there's only a single Korean on the rosters of the 4 Japanese teams right now. Korean teams are free to sign as many Japanese players as they want, both in the game and in real life, although they tend to be more aggressive about doing that in the game.
