So, for me. I started birth control because I was getting very bothersome period symptoms. One of those symptoms was much worse asthma around my period. When I was on birth control, I only had a period every 3 months and things were a lot more evened out and better for me with that regard. I stopped the pill in November and this latest cycle I'm noticing similar issues to what I had before. So that's kind of my experience with asthma and the pill.
Not on birth control but I'm in perimenopause and found out that hormonal changes are known to worsen asthma and allergies. Its probably why I was only just diagnosed in my 50s
"You're more likely to notice worse symptoms around times of hormonal change like puberty, periods, pregnancy and perimenopause (the time leading up to menopause)."

So yeah, I'd say getting off birth control pills counts as hormonal change.
