The relationship between plate location and earthquake generation deals with tectonic activity along specific plate boundaries [divergent, convergent, transform] - pressure builds as massive plates rub against each other and eventually release massive amount of energy in the form of earthquakes. It is very rare that an earthquake will occur too far from any tectonic plate.
Indonesia is located on the border of the Eurasian and Indo-Australian plates, making earthquakes a constant danger. [Also near the Phillippine plate]
