There are jobs available for low timers in Indonesia flying real air transport category aircraft, not GA single engine VFR over mountainous terrain BS. You obviously haven't looked hard enough...
Flying what, a PT6? I can think of a hell of a lot worse engines and aircraft to be be flying SE (or even Multi engine) on. Plenty of jobs in other parts of the world involve doing so regularly, over tiger country. Weather, operational experience and local knowledge (lack of) would be the biggest risks in this operation, not the aircraft. But if you can jump straight into a transport category aircraft as an FO with 200 hours then good for you
