East Timor, also known as Timor-Leste, achieved full independence on May 20, 2002, not in the 1980s. After a long struggle for independence from Indonesian occupation, which began in 1975, the country held a UN-sponsored referendum in 1999. Following a period of violence and unrest, it was placed under UN administration before finally gaining sovereignty. The 1980s were a time of significant resistance efforts, but full independence was realized in the early 2000s.

Yes, they are the same country. Timor-Leste is the official title of the country (as well as East Timor in Portuguese, the language of Timor-Leste), but East Timor is commonly used in the English speaking world. Timor-Leste is a new country that gained independence from Indonesia in 2002.
No it isn't. East Timor was separated from Indonesia in 1999.
The president of Indonesia when East Timor gained independence in 2002 was Megawati Sukarnoputri. She took office in July 2001, following the resignation of Abdurrahman Wahid. East Timor's transition to independence began with a UN-sponsored referendum in August 1999, leading to its eventual independence from Indonesia.
East Timor got independence on this day.
