The indentation is done by the editor, not by Quanta. We don't control 
where the cursor will be when an enter is pressed, but based on some 
rules, the editor does (this editor is by default the "katepart" 
editor, used in Kate as well). 
In case of abbreviations, this is a text that will be inserted in the 
document. Actually it is two strings IIRC, separated by the "|" char 
where the cursor will be. Quanta inserts this strings into the editor 
as they are: strings, including newlines. But the editor doesn't try to 
indent string inserted, and I can imagine they have good reasons not to 
do it. So they will appear exactly as they are in the abbreviation 
dialog.
 Now as I wrote this, I can think of two solutions, but it would take 
some time to try them:

1) insert the abbreviation character by character. I don't know if this 
will help or not.
2) put the abbreviation in the clipboard and try to paste it. Again, 
this might now work at all.

I see no other solution right now as we don't have access to the 
editor's indentation method from Quanta itself.
