Si Thu Aung doubled the lead 18 minutes later with a header, before Indonesia pulled one back through Abduh Lestaluhu, whose cross crept in at the far post on the stroke of half-time.
Myanmar continued to dominate after the break, and scored a third through Si Thu Aung again.
Substitute Kyaw Zin Lwin made if 4-1, before Ahmad Nufiandani reduced the deficit to two goals with a powerful finish from close range.
