I met a guy who lived in Bali, and was bringing his bike there from Europe. Sure enough it was firmly stuck at Surabaya seaport! But maybe this was more of a permanent import, that he was trying to do. Also met a German biker, who was having his bike stuck for weeks at Jakarta airport, with carnet and all, and he said customs demands from him an approval letter from the United Nations!! He certainly was only planning to visit Indo.
I would not count on clearing customs there very quickly, unless you go Belawan or land border from East Timor.
