I can't seem to find a way to change the node status message that shows for a user when running a custom js from a menu option.

Can someone point me to the right object to update?

You change any of the node status text via text.dat/text.ini edits: https://synchro.net/docs/customization.html#NodeActionText

The "BiXfer" node action is currently used by anything, so feel free to just change that status what you like and then set the node's action value to NODE_BXFR (defined in load/nodedefs.js) when it's performing that custom action.

To add what Digital Man has mentioned, he also made a change to make this a little easier. Basically

bbs.replace_text(720,"%s is somewhere you're not");
bbs.node_action = NODE_CUSTOM;
bbs.nodesync();
bbs.revert_text(720); // if you want to

Thanks for this. I will definitely look at it.

If you're running the latest v3.20a code then this would be preferred to the replace/revert_text calls above:
in ctrl/text.ini, add:
NodeActivityCustom = is somewhere you're not

If the node action is actually dynamic (can be different text depending on scenarios, e.g. multiple different custom actions), then this would be preferred:
bbs.replace_text("NodeActionCustom", "is somewhere you're not");

The revert_text() call isn't strictly needed.
