I took a look in the driver quick.
https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/drivers/asteroid.cpp

If it were computer controlled, then we'd probably see it in the memory map like Lunar Lander. But it's not listed.

Perhaps it's not and instead much simpler, like upon signal from coin mech, start 555 timer to begin LED flashing. Would have to check schematics.

Mind you, I'm no expert on Asteroids hardware.

[EDIT] I just found the LEDs in the driver tho for Asteroids Deluxe.

Code:

MCFG_ADDRESSABLE_LATCH_Q0_OUT_CB(WRITELINE(asteroid_state, start1_led_w))
MCFG_ADDRESSABLE_LATCH_Q1_OUT_CB(WRITELINE(asteroid_state, start2_led_w))
