In Indonesia I heard it was rude to stand with your hands on your hips because it reminds them of colonial times.

Yes, that is true. In Indonesia it is considered rude to stand with your hands on your hips because it is a posture that was adopted by the colonialists during their time of rule and is seen as provocative and disrespectful.  It is seen as a sign of dominance, so standing with your arms folded across your chest is seen as a more respectful way of conveying yourself to others.
