calibre automatically stores files within its own library using ASCII, for maximum compatibility across filesystems/OSes.
I don't think that will change.

But see:
Preferences ==> Import/Export ==> Saving books to disk
Uncheck "Convert non-English characters to English equivalents"

As for getting a better chinese/japanese-to-ascii mapping, I have no idea, sorry.
