Western spelling of Oriental names.

Take a name like Nguyen or Qi - pronounced nothing like you would expect.
It occured to me that in, say, Vietnam, they wouldn't be using Western
characters anyway (or am I wrong?), so someone over here has decided how to
spell such names.  If so, why did they choose a scheme that is IMHO so
inaccurate?
