Narrative:
Upon arriving into mmun ATC cleared us to fly the bubun 1B RNAV arrival expecting 30L; with a subsequent descend via clearance. The efb jeppesen app contains these STAR arrivals; but not all points; and there are no jeppesen approaches that tie into these arrivals. As our routing was toward lopka; I selected the lopka transition. Upon reviewing the points on the legs page I noticed many other points after lopka. These points establish a base turn and final approach segment; but nothing within our jepp-FD products contain these points. We were subsequently cleared direct to a point (don't remember which) that was on the final segment for 30R; cleared the visual 30R. In order to get clarity on where this point was I assumed (correctly) that we needed to load in the EPNEL1B STAR/otsol transition for 30R. Only then were we able to verify this point was actually on final for 30R. The mmun stars need to indicate all points that comprise the RNAV arrivals. With the higher potential for communication issues (ATC controller accents/dialects) we need better clarity on the waypoints that we may be sent to.
