I don't know exactly what you mean by "indented plain lists", but your
code, or the following, definitely indents items.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-plain-list-functions
             (lambda (plain-list back-end &rest _rest)
               (when (org-export-derived-backend-p back-end 'ascii)
                 (replace-regexp-in-string "^" "  " plain-list))))
#+end_src

The same as in transcoding functions. This is all explained in details
within ox.el.
