hmmm…i'm not sure why you refer to this as a staff. It seems to be a club to me, though i would think one that was purely either ceremonial or simply made for tourists rather than a truly functional weapon. It also seems to be fairly contemporary to me, that is, certainly post WWII.
It does indeed appear to have a SEA appearance, though i cannot help much with a precise location. It could also be from a bit further east in the islands of the Pacific. There are a lot of variations on club forms from these regions.
