I've installed node-asn1 in my node\_modules, however, it doesn't appear any ASN.1 node into my dashbaord. Did someone discovered how to make it work?

That is because it isn't a node-red node, just a nodejs package.  
The Loading Additional Modules section of the Writing Functions guide tells you how you can use that in a function node.
