Because the "field" is smaller and hitting is not as important in indoor hockey, a lighter stick allows a player more control and is easier to use than a heavy stick without sacrificing any major power from a hit (a push or sweep is often more effective and more used).

Is it OK to use an indoor field hockey stick on a regular outdoor field?

It will probably be OK, but if you are a serious field hockey player, you would not use an indoor stick on the turf nor use your turf stick indoors. It is not OK to use an indoor stick outside. When you want to shoot the ball you might break your stick because it is too thin. It is ok cuz there isn't much difference between them.
