You can't get immune to Rabies regardless of the amount of shots you have, the full 3 dose course does give you extra time to seek medical attention and to be vaccinated against the disease, the extra time is about 24 hours, if one has the pre vaccinations one doesn't need as many shots after the bit, Rabies vaccinations are great if your travelling to the middle of Africa, however, I personally wouldn't waste my money getting the shops for Bali, if you get bitten, they will start treatment regardless of you immunisation status and when you get home the vaccines are free because it is a notifiable disease.
I would recheck with your doctor or maybe seek a second opinion.
