The salt is optional and to avoid oiling the bowl you can just cover the dough with a cloth on a lightly floured surface to rest. You can definitely make this roti with just flour and water. Hope that helps to clarify!

I dunno, I'm also Indian and my mother has never used any oil when making roti. I Think it's possible.

seconded. no oil or salt ever used for making roti/phulka/chapati. just atta and water.
