Yes, Absolutely.

Everybody who rents a motorized vehicle (motorbike, or scooter such as Scoopy, Vespa, Honda Vario) etc NEEDS to have not only their national drivers license but ALSO AN INTERNATIONAL DRIVING PERMIT.

Your national License is not enough.

If you are stopped by the traffic police in Bali, you will usually be required to show your vehicle registration papers which will be provided by the rental company, your national driving license, and your International Driving License (IDP).

Other offences that could lead to a fine:

The International Driving License is something like an official translation of your national driving license.

In some countries, the government institutions that process the national licenses also provide the international license – usually for a fee between 40 and 80 USD.

Governments in some countries have appointed private or semi-private companies to issue international driver licenses (basically an approved translation) on their behalf.

One of these companies with whom we have worked since a long time and are absolutely trustworthy is our partner from Singapore. You can get your international driving license directly online and very quickly. The police in Bali and Indonesia accept the Singapore-issued  documents (digital and printed version).
