The upshot is, if you get on a plane or a train, you'll be asked for ID of whatever sort, that being a passport, KITAS/P, or perhaps an SKTT or KTP OA.
Indonesians will normally use their KTP.

The lousy (maybe google) translation doesn't help much but "Transport tool" just means a vehicle.
Taxis, local trains, and local buses don't have to but I haven't been on a long distance bus for some years so I can't comment on them.
Intercity trains will definitely ask you for something, as will airlines, even domestic flights.

No ID - Forget it.
