I'm afraid your question isn't clear. By definition, an ASBR connects two unlike networks, one that is running OSPF and one that isn't. So, the ASBR will connect to the Internet in your example.

This is where your question gets unclear. But if you are considering putting an ASBR between Area x and Area 0, then that doesn't make sense. It's not an ASBR because it's connecting two OSPF networks. If your Internet connection is in Area X, you will have an ASBR that connects the OSPF world to the Internet, sitting on the edge of Area X. Are you asking if the ASBR should be in Area 0? I think the answer is yes, if it can, but sometimes that's simply not possible on large internetworks with multiple egress points. If I completely missed what you're getting at, sorry!
