Hello Kubur,
Yes, it's a pedang.
Orang Jawa would probably call it a pedang tusuk. Not sure what the preferred name would be for orang Sunda (AFAIK, [pe]dang implies a curved blade in that language). In Sumatra this would be a relatively rare blade type, probably without any well-known dedicated name. Pedang lurus will be understood by all speakers of Bahasa Indonesia, I guess.
The hilt seems well carved and is not uncommon on (southern) Sumatra. The leather-covered scabbard and (later?) brass fittings may suggest a Sunda origin IMHO.
Regards,
Kai
