It's not too simple, but you can find out by using both google flights and the Garuda website. You need to coordinate the two websites. If you see that a flight is operated on an A330-300, look for the same flight on Google Flights and check if it is lie flat in the description. If it says angled then you are on an older jet (bear in mind the oldest ones are in an all economy config).
Beware not to select A330-200s as they are all fully flat with the 2-2-2 lay out.

Seems no easy way to identify the type of aircraft.
I was on PK-GPL which seems quite old. The PTV is not the same with other A330 that I have been. Not even flight path. Only 3 menu avails. The sound connector on my seat was not properly working, I have to put it on certain angle so that I can hear sound in left/right (not both).
The seat is also very hard and not comfortable. surprisingly I saw this aircraft was used on SYD flight
