Aevamo’s reading
The Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act, Article 6(1), is the provision that imposes the requirement on an alien landing in Japan to hold a valid passport bearing a Japanese consular visa and creates the exemption for passports covered by an international agreement or a notification to foreign governments. The MOFA list (mofa-novisa) records which countries the notification-based exemption currently covers; it reports the exemption rather than creating the obligation.
The passage reproduces the MOFA's visa-exemption table naming every issuer in this row, states that Japan has reciprocal visa exemption arrangements with 74 listed countries and regions, and states that the period of stay granted upon landing permission is 90 days for all listed countries other than Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei and Qatar; none of this row's issuers is one of those four, so each is visa-free for 90 days.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
