The answer is "no, but you certainly could and probably should." It appears that one is not required to tip in Indonesia (I am currently on business there) and my Japanese colleagues insist it is not necessary. However, every taxi driver, waiter, bellhop etc. that I've met clearly wants a tip judging by their tendency to smile expectantly and hang around an extra few seconds until you hand them a couple of small bills. So it seems that one is not required to tip, as in the United States, it is not accurate to say that it is actually not expected, as in Japan.
