I believe the actual "rule" is that if your current drivers license is recognized and in English, no IDP is required.

Since my old Saipan D/L looks like it was pasted up in Photoshop and sealed with a cheap laminator I went ahead and got an IDP anyway. I had to take a color blindness test, a peripheral vision test and a reaction time test. The last two were actually fun.
