Same here. In fact, the layout indicator is there even in the default
layout, however clicking it does not work anyway (you see it change but
it does not affect the layout)

See also issues #1612910, #1699670 and #879916 which appear to be
duplicates.

Title:
  Cannot enter non-latin password characters in lock screen if layout
  set to english before lock

Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  - Configure 2 keyboard layouts:
    - default: english
    - secondary: something else
  - Set your password to something containing non-english characters
  - Switch keyboard layout to English
  - Lock screen
  - Now you can't change keyboard layout on lock screen (hotkey does not work 
(#1244548) and there is no clickable layout indicator), so you can't enter 
password and unlock.

  For some reason, clickable layout indicator appears on lock screen
  only if non-english layout (or non-default layout?) is active before
  locking screen.
