you should be able to go from SFO to Indonesia on one award ticket. No need to stop in the hub city if you don't want to. So you could easily go SFO --> ICN --> DPS (if Bali is where you're headed) on one award. Or something like SFO --> NRT --> DPS or SFO --> HKG --> DPS, etc. No need to use Skymiles to get from the hub to your destination.
