Hey Michael,
I crossed late last year, when the requirement to inform customs just started, and I had no problem. I sent them an email saying when I was coming and what port of entry (I ended up being a week late) and just needed a visa and the carnet. Customs was informed about my proposed date of entry and was waiting.
Make sure to get the Indonesian visa (if you want to stay longer than a month) in Australia. I tried to get mine in east Timor and they refused. If you have any trouble at the border I have some friends in customs there that could help. Actually, you should meet them anyway, really good guys.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers,
Jason
