3 hours is what I'd feel comfortable in changing terminals at CGK. 6 is way safe.
Terminal 2 has many more food options, KFC, Hoka Hoka Bento, etc, so I'd probably just eat there. Terminal 3 has a CFC which is mediocre at best, a JCO which is fine, and some small restaurants upstairs which are fine.
I don't think Lion Air flys a lot of planes out of terminal three. Or didn't the last time I was there a few months back. Mostly Air Asia.

* Lion Air flight departing Terminal 3 in CGK at 01.30
I need to have checked in for Lion Air by 00.30, which leaves only about 6 hrs for:
* Getting the VOA (Aussie passport)
* Clearing immigration
* Collecting luggage
* Going through customs
* Taking the shuttle to Terminal 3
I've heard several horror stories about CGK and this will be the first time I'm transferring there. Does this look like enough time?
To save a bit of time&hassle, I was thinking of booking one of the fast track services like on
http://airportjakarta.com/index.html.
They cost ~$75 for a fast-track service and pre-purchased VOA - it is $50 extra on just the VOA fee.
Has anyone used this service? How much time do you save with it?
