What you have heard is true, Augustus Pablo didn't make that much live appearances, neither in Jamaica nor anywhere else. Due to his bad health and shy persona he only started doing live concerts in the second half of the 1980's, even in Jamaica. He travelled to Japan rather frequently and took part in the 'Japan Splash' concerts.
There are some unofficial recordings of these concerts doing their rounds.
