exist an asm mode for emacs. I have tried to google one, but I only find
other people asking the same question without any answers. Hope somone can

M-x asm-mode RET

It should happen automatically when you open a file with an .asm
extension.

it seems that it uses NASM mode instead. Only the labels gets colored the
rest is just black letters and there are no indentions.

Why, there's an asm-mode delivered with emacs.

Perhaps the your auto-mode-alist doesn't map '.asm' to asm-mode? By
default on unix, asm files are named with: '.s'.
Or you can prepend a first line: ;; -*- mode: asm -*-

For some reason it uses NASM mode instead and it only makes labels in colors
everything else just acts as in normal textmode.

I don't know what makes you think it uses NASM mode.
It indeed doesn't provide too many features.
The version in Emacs-CVS is slightly more featureful, tho still
pretty limited.  It basically only provide very basic highlighting
and indentation.

The problem is that it's intended to be generic for "any" assembly language,
so it can't be too clever.

Patches welcome,

Well it writes NASM in the bottom menu.

Hmm... mine says "Assembler".  I think nobody but me hacked on this since
Emacs-21.1, so either you're not using the same as mine, or I simply forgot
that I changed the mode-name.
