1. Let's say i have booked a room via Booking.com or AsiaTravel.com which i have paid up front, can i still use KAHA voucher? NO

2. Correct me if i'm wrong, i assume this is how KAHA works. For example:

Wrong, Kaha Voucher = 1 time use cashcard (you pay the price of the hotel at Kaha, bring that voucher to the hotel and check in)

By the way, i'm getting around RP 500K for Biz Hotel. Do you know how much we can get cheaper via KAHA? Biz Hotel cheapest way is to book via agoda/booking.com, else email them. Do not book from website or walk in, much more expensive.. Biz hotel management provides group booking discount/free upgrades. Check with them.
Hope it helps.

if u have eg KITAS u book direct with hotel u will get local price
So far never heard of any hotel in batam that has local/foreigner pricing.. Please share if you know which hotel.. Can get the locals to book instead

Anyway, until now the most commonly seen local/foreigner pricing are on transportation. Ranging from Ferries tickets to local transportation such as taxi, ojek and mini van..

Example:

Sindo Ferry Ticket (Only for Sekupang/Batam Centre)

Local = 250k inclusive of seaport tax
Foreigner = 270k inclusive of seaport tax (cheapest that i can find in batam)

Horizon Ferry Ticket

Local 380k (only applicable in batam counter if i remember correctly)
Foreigner 480k

Taxi

Local as low as 15k/20k for a short trip
Foreigner minimum i find cost 25k for a shor trip

Ojek

Local ranging from 5k, 6k, 7k
Foreigner 10k, 15k, 20k

Mini Van

Local 2/2.5k for a short trip
Foreigner 3/4k for a short trip
