There is nothing on the site to say VOA can be purchased from the Embassy - rather it clearly states the Indonesian points of entry where VOA can be issued (eg Bali).
The site does have information on apply for other visas, including a 60 day tourist visa which costs $60 and has to be issued by the Embassy prior to departure for Indonesia.
I also checked the site for the Indonesian consulate in Perth, and exactly the same information - VOA has to be purchased on arrival in Indonesian, NOT before.
The prepaid VOA that is mentioned in this thread, is paid to an agent who arranges the Visa on your arrival in Indonesia, so that you don't have to stand in the queue.
