When I convert a new traditional IRA (containing a one-time contribution of $7,000 in after-tax dollars) to a Roth IRA, do I have to use the IRS 'pro-rata rule' due to my ownership of a gold/silver traditional IRA, and do I have to wait a year to convert, or can I do so immediately?

I am a US citizen and pay US taxes my whole life. For the last 30 years I have lived in the US and consulted on projects outside the US. Since 2010, I am living in Bangkok. I work as a consultant in many countries but not the US. I now have a project in Jakarta. Jakarta requires form 6166 from the IRS stating I am a US resident. I do not have a domicile in the USA. The IRS are asking me if I am a US resident and the form they want me to sign is "under penalty of purjury". Do I say yes and sign the form? Am I still legally a US resident (as a US citizen) even though I do not have a US domicile?
