Does payment using foreign bank account (not functional currency) for a foreign transaction leads to a relaised gain/loss?
For instance, a company's functional currency is in IDR.
However, the company purchased goods on 31 Jan, denominated by USD.
On 31 March, the company paid for the transaction using it's USD amount.
Will there be a gain/loss? If so, how do we account for it?

Yes, there would be gains or losses as the initial transaction would be translated from USD to IDR. On settlement the payment in USD would be translated to IDR and any differences are foreign exchange gains/losses.
Thanks
