I've always received my change within around Rp10K of what I was expecting. I can't imagine why anyone would argue over such a small amount.
As for what is officially sanctioned and what is not, I have no answers. I don't know what the official policy is and don't claim to know. I was merely saying it was interesting that there is a digital board listing the cost in about 15 or so currencies at the VOA counter in Jakarta, if the government does not condone the practice.
