Update 1:

var obj = {};
console.log("hello");

var setObj = async function(a,b){
  obj.a = a;
  obj.b = b;
};

await setObj(2,3);

console.log(obj.a+obj.b);

You can only use await in an async function.

Update 2:

var obj = {};
console.log("hello");

let foobar = {
setObj: async function(a,b){
  obj.a = a;
  obj.b = b;
}
};

await setObj(2,3);

console.log(obj.a+obj.b);

Your await MUST be in an async function:

var obj = {};
console.log("hello");

var setObj = async function(a,b){
  obj.a = a;
  obj.b = b;
};

async function consoleLog() {
  await setObj(2,3);
  console.log(obj.a+obj.b);
}

consoleLog();

SyntaxError: missing ; before statement on line 5

which is - obj.a = a;
