Yes, if indonesian travel from spore to batam by ferry. No need quarantine and swab test.
If by flight, yes need swab test for their domestic travel.
And that swab result only valid for 14days. Once after 14days and wants to travel again. Need to test again.
This moment Batam hotel association is fighting for No Need Swab Test for domestic travel to batam. Requesting batam government to appeal to central government. Hotels in batam is dying fast. Since foreigner cant travel to batam, domestic traveller is their only hope. Hoping that without swab test for entry, will encourage more locals to go batam.
Recently a news stated for a family with 2 kids to domestic travel, swab test and results will cost 2-3juta. That make many local refused to travel.
Btw i believed after this covid-19 pandemic, Batam will have a New Era. you need to busy redo or update many info here. Many joints will close and sure new joints will open. Some maybe shifted and some may still have but change name. Recently one famous joint just officially declare bankrupt, close shop, the OKT sell house sell car.
