TLDR : Answer Summary

For travelers flying from the USA to Bangkok with a layover in Japan, the TDAC (Travel Declaration Approval Code) should be submitted based on your original departure country, which is the USA, despite the layover.

Immigration told me the originating flight from my home country is the one to use and that’s the one I’ve been using for many years

Frankly, it doesn't really matter either way. No one is checking it, and it's all automated. You fill it out with whatever you want and get the QR code and you are done.
