I think this isn't a Lua question per se but more of a Vim question.
Your problem lies with the default Vim indentation file for the Lua
language.

I'm assuming you have in your ~/.vimrc;

filetype plugin indent on
syntax on

for turning on automatic indentation based on filetype in Vim. I
recommend you read user guide section 30.3 to 30.5 (:help 30.3) to see
how automatic indentation works in vim.

The file I'm talking about can be seen by :e
$VIMRUNTIME/indent/lua.vim. You can change it or make your own (or
look on the vim.org site for one) and then put it in
~/.vim/indent/lua.vim
