Well, either fetch() blocks, or not. If it blocks, then it should yield, its caller should yield, etc. If it doesn't block, then it can just run to completion.
Don't elide important parts of the quote. In javascript your question doesn't make sense.

Javascript functions always block.

If a function is async, you must yield[0]. It may not need* that capability (conditionally) and doesn't have to yield at all e.g.
function*() {
return 4;
}
is valid and will not suspend. You must still yield*[0] on it so that it is properly resolved as a generator.
[0] I think that's not an issue for async/await as it's syntactic sugar for then chains, the code itself may be converted to a generator or whatever but it will embed the driver
