are taking a significant risk. "A nominee structure for a holding of Hak Milik would likely be interpreted as an agreement engineered for an unlawful purpose and thus be unenforceable" (http://www.expat.or.id/info/legalmattersinindonesia.html).
The other so called "title", Right of Use (Hak Pakai), is the right to use State-owned or other land by public or private persons or entities for a specific purpose for a definite period or occasionally for an indefinite period. This land right cannot be sold, exchanged or transferred unless explicitly provided in its grant or agreement and normally for a period not exceeding 10 years.
This right may be held by an Indonesian individual or entity or foreigner permanently domiciled in Indonesia, or a foreign legal entity with a representative office in Indonesia such as foreign banks, embassies, etc.
If the law allowed ownership for non-Indonesians I would have bought there decades ago.
