Jakarta and Bali steakhouses use English terms, but local home cooking has almost no 'rare' concept. The Islamic cultural preference for fully-cooked meat reinforces this tradition.

Doneness terminology varies by country and restaurant. When unsure, describe what you want (e.g., “warm red center”).
