Bahasa in Malay/Indonesian means "language". How do you feel when you hear somebody label the English language as "language"? I know that would sound really weird for me. Most people would label it either as English, or in full as the "English language". But nobody in their right mind would call it simply as "language".
The same goes for Indonesian. Either use the word "Indonesian" or the Indonesian language. Or if you really want to use a Malay/Indonesian term, use bahasa Indonesia. Never use only Bahasa.
