No Anthony, based upon what I believe I can see in the photo, this blade has been made to incorporate characteristics that are usually found in a keris, but in my opinion it is not a keris blade that has been altered.
However, if microscopic examination of the blade edges of the curve show distortion and/or cracking, then alteration might need to be considered.
Yes, it is Lombok, where it would be called a klewang.
