Indonesian term or phrase: tak ubahnya
The whole sentence is 'Gebyar pesta kawin itu memang tak ubahnya sebuah perkawinan lengkap dalam upacara Hindu, meski mereka tak harus memeluk agama itu.' It appears in an article about wedding packages marketed to tourists in Bali. Is it something like 'Don't think these ceremonies are the same as a complete Hindu ceremony, so people don't have to be Hindu?

no different than
Explanation:
"Tak ubah" means "no different than /from". The whole sentence I think has a somewhat different meaning from what you suggested-- maybe more like, "The pageantry of the wedding festivities is really no different from a full Hindu wedding ceremony, although they need not embrace that religion."
