That’s rather silly. The FAA allowed those planes to fly in the US, with the flaws that lead to those deaths. They also manipulated test results in order to facilitate recertification of the planes after the crashes.

Indonesia has a bilateral agreement for airworthiness with the FAA[1].

It oversaw and did their type certification, which per treaties is the basis on which they operate in many parts of the world.
