I usually try to use milder remedies first, like alcohol with a few drops of dish soap liquid mix. I apply it with cotton swabs. Your plant is small anyways, so you can easily dab away some of those white stuff, and observe.
I am a bit wary with your media. It looks too rich and dense. My Hoya kerrii variegata is grown like I am growing an orchid, so the media has many clay rocks, some bark mix, chunky lava rock, but never in soil. Having seen just how succulent the leaves and vine were, I was very careful with the media. Here is mine just to give you an idea, positioned by our west facing window and north facing sliding doors, glass is tinted, and if it does get too sunny in the afternoon I can always close the sheer white curtain to protect it. Light levels are getting stronger, hotter and longer in duration in the afternoon, so got to protect it from the heat coming thru the glass windows.
The coldest I have ever allowed my plant to experience is 50F (10C). And it was also struggling when it gets too much dry heat here when we start hitting 95F to triple digits. It is happiest now indoors, by a breezy window, with temps just in the 68F to 80F range. There is also a ceiling fan in this area, so if I cannot open the windows when it goes way too hot outside during summer, I just use the ceiling fan to increase ventilation around it.
Since your plant came from Brazil and you did say it also experienced a brief outdoor cold spell, then it may just be still trying to get its bearings, so be patient. I hope you can add some more gritty material to your media mix though, it looks too dense.
