Instead of porting the original version off of the Google Play Store, there's a modified version of the game called Asphalt 8: Premium, very similar to the Apple Arcade version. This is based off an old version, specifically the 1.2 version of the game, and it has been uploaded on the Internet Archive, as the original mod was taken down (DMCA I'm assuming).
This modded version is much easier to run on older hardware (Vita included obviously) and even supports controllers and 60FPS, but it has less maps and cars.
I'm not sure if a modded version is allowed to submit (same reason on why I didn't put the link), but if there's any version that's going to run on the Vita, this is the one.
