This is exactly right.
"Bahasa Melayu" is a broad term which refers to many Sundic dialects
spoken throught the archipelagio. It includes Indonesian and the
language of Brunei Darussalam, as well as the national language of
Malaysia and Singapore.
"Bahasa Indonesia" is a more narrow term, referring to the national
language of Indonesia. It's almost identical to the national language
of Malaysia.

Here I find a second issue:
I think that Indonesian and Malay meet an equal threshhold to
Serbocroatian, except that they don't have the same level of emotions
attached.
So, I think there should be a single Malay and Indonesian WS.
As I understand it, "Indonesian" was created as an attempt by the
Indonesian Government to assert their rule over the former Dutch East
Indies, and is basically Malay with a fancy name.
I am willing to step back from this position should a native speaker of
Malay say otherwise.
