Not everyone is Balinese that is invited to Aus for a holiday.
As Indonesians they can be from other parts of Indonesia too.
Not all who have invited someone to Aus pay for the airfares & fiscal costs.
Sometimes these are paid for by the person visiting from Indonesia.
Not sure why you would ask if anyone considers they "own" the person visiting.
They are not a possession and most try to make their time here as enjoyable as possible?
As a sponsor you are responsible for the person you invite.
Therefore it would be wise to know where they are & who they are visiting especially if interstate etc.
As for being resentful...
My answer is ..no.
Hopefully the reason/s you have invited someone to visit is not about how much money you have spent on them or that they "owe" you something in return.
