Yeah, I mean... granted Australia and Indoneisa are a lot closer together... so the Indonesians could land on Australia fairly eaisly... but what they're going to be landing on is brutal areas people don't want to live on... and once the invasion starts... chances are their shipping lanes would be cut off by the Australian ships... and the troops would be routed and bombed into submission.
Plus moving through that land would be well... just counter productive and not worth it. It'd be like trying to cross the Sahara to invade southern africa.
