Do universities and employers discriminate against people with an online degree?

Since the OP is specifically asking about teaching overseas, I would direct them to a Web site called Dave's ESL Cafe, where you can get good advice from people who are doing just that.

As best as I know, many countries in the Middle East require Master's degrees and some of the governments have policies forbidding teacher's with degrees earned on-line.

In other places, the rules are more relaxed, but many employers will look down upon a degree earned on-line. In the US, you can earn a high quality education from an on-line program offered by a B&M school. But in many other countries, the on-line programs, even from top schools, are terrible. So some employers will perceive it as fraudulent.
