The 24-year-old IT analyst has admitted the crime, said police, for which he could face up to six years in jail.
Motorists were left in shock last week when footage from a Japanese porn film was displayed on an electronic screen in south Jakarta.
The video ran for five minutes on Friday before power was eventually cut.
However the clip had already been captured on many mobile phones and soon spread across social media.
The man, who was arrested in his office, allegedly carried out the prank after seeing login details displayed on the billboard.
Now that's a hack!

That seems a bit harsh. There were these pranks by Apple and Microsoft. If you can hack this computer (serving http) you get $X. The root credentials are .... and none could pawn the machines (of course).
Knowing the login details does not mean you know how to reach the machine in this case. Once you are in, can it stream video? Which formats, bandwidth? It could all be trivial, for sure, but then it might not be.
