I wondered about that too. If you only have the cyrllic alphabet, how do you write "C7"? But one never hears about Russian composers having this problem. Sensing that we were lacking factual information, I took the liberty of searching. Summary: Nothing I found indicated any divergent notation for non-roman alphabets, except in cases where the scales are entirely different. For those, chord names would be the least of the issues.
