Local telecommunications giant PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk (NYSE: TLK), commonly abbreviated as Telkom Indonesia, is the primary Indonesian ADR trading on the NYSE after more lightly traded PT Indosat Tbk (OTCMKTS: PTINY) relisted on and then delisted from the OTC. The other Indonesian stock with an ADR trading on a major US exchange would be Indonesia Energy Corporation Limited (AMEX: INDO) which is focused on oil and gas operations in Indonesia. In addition, the locally listed subsidiaries of several major foreign MNCs like Ace Hardware, Unilever and Vale along with some major Indonesia listed stocks do have ADRs trading on the OTC.
In addition, Aberdeen Asset Management had offered the Aberdeen Indonesia Fund (NYSEMKT: IF) as an Indonesia closed-end fund since March 1990. However and in April 2018, the Aberdeen Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: AEF) completed the reorganizations of several emerging market closed-end funds into the Aberdeen Chile Fund, Inc and the consolidated fund was renamed the Aberdeen Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund, Inc trading on the NYSE American Exchange under the ticker symbol “AEF.”

Note: Stocks delisted from the OTC (whether due to mergers, acquisitions or for other reasons) have been left in the table (as their websites still provide a good feel for the company and the local market) and may still trade on local or important European (e.g. London) or regional (e.g. Singapore or Hong Kong) stock exchanges. They may also be holdings of country or region specific ETFs or Indices.
