I compared the jp version of HEART STATION to the taiwan version and the Jp version looks AMAZING.

Hmm are you sure you saw an official release CD of taiwan or the bootlegs lol. But hikki is from different label so they might not be the same as avex taiwan.
IMO, the major difference between Japan and OS versions are the printed materials.
I would rate the printed materials as Japan > Taiwan > Hongkong (not sure about china but I think it's not much better than Hongkong)
I have A BEST 2 White Japan and Hongkong version. And the Hongkong version soon turns yellowish but the japan version still stays white. And if you've both japan and OS versions, you can feel the paper quality is different. OS is thicker and slightly rough. It's much more easier to notice by the A Song for XX album.
Most of the OS albums will have difficulty in taking the booklet out but the japan version is thin and easy to take out.
