On Indonesia's Immigration Website the Visa is called

B1 Tourist (Visa on Arrival)

The Visa is called Visa on arrival, because the Visa was previously only available upon arrival. Since Indonesia implemented an option to get the Visa online (e-Visa) the name is a bit confusing now and will probably die out. 

The B is the Visa Classification, the number indicates the travel purpose. There is for example also the B2 (Business Purpose) available.

When applying online you must select the type of "Visa on Arrival" based on your travel purpose:

Most travelers to Bali who can get a Visit Visa will have to apply for the B1.

• Conducting activities related to tourism, and visiting friends or family.
• Participate in meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibitions as an attendee.
