Last I checked asteroids gave cloak of 16 so unless you have sensors that can see at level 16 or 17 (not sure which) any ships, bases, units etc will be hidden and you won't be able to engage them. This was how I understood it is supposed to work but whether it does is anyones guess - I haven't tried it. Planets must be an exception to this and aren't hidden, but perhaps like the ships, you can't engage them unless you have sensors able to penetrate the cloak from the asteroids. The fact that you can see the flag of the colony even though you don't have any ships or sensors which cover the ares is most likely an oversight that is yet to be fixed.
Also, the cloaking was completely screwed up with the last patch (1.66). Every turn ships uncloak and need orders to recloak. Even when you do that, they are visible to everyone.
