It's easy to pull data from one of the XAPI servers, eg to get all
fuel locations for Australia you do this:

wget http://osmxapi.hypercube.telascience.org/api/0.6/node\[amenity=fuel\]\[bbox=112,-45,155,-9\]
-O fuel.osm

Although the bbox does allow a few locations in from south eastern
asia, but then you can load the file into JOSM and run searches on it,
but it doesn't seem easy to search on the version number of an object,
not sure why but I've filed a bug about this:

You can however search based on username, so if all points were bulk
imported this might be the next best way to do things:
