creating a dbstorage is necessary..
registering the database will probably fail without a storage.. As I mentioned in my earlier post;

And I don't think you can successfully register a database in ODA without using creating db storage. there is a important relationship between these two actions.. See the following MOS note ->

Can't Register CLONE Database On ODA X7-2M (Doc ID 2553315.1)

It even expects the name used in creating db storage to be the same as the one used with registering the database. So those are tightly coupled..

You may try creating a db storage according to the current ASM disgkrups that you use and then  registering your db afterwards..

***When I check the manual, I get the following info from there, and this makes me think that it can be done even in your case.. But it needs to be tested, and I don't have a TEST environment for testing this.. So you should plan your tests on your own and take the risk...

*For creating the dbstorage: When you select ASM, the command only creates the supporting directory structure for storing non-database files.
*For registering: The database being registered must use Oracle Managed Files and the file location must match the DATA Location, REDO Location and RECO Location of the odacli describe-dbstorage command.
The register-database command validates the datafile and log file locations and moves the controlfile and spfile to the correct locations
