After installing the language, the language selection list look like this:

I have restart ibus with restart ibus as instructed, it didn’t return any error.

When you installed the Bangla language from "Manage Installed Languages", the Bangla/Bengali input source options were moved from the "Other" window. Actually I think that you now see a "Bangla" item at the very first window when clicking the + button, and if you select "Bangla", a sub window will open with a number of options, including "Bengali (Avro Phonetic)".

Adding a second answer to this question, since Avro Phonetic now has been made available to Ubuntu users via an official package.

To install it:

sudo apt install ibus-avro

That package is better than both 2.0-1 and 2.1-3. It installs the latest upstream software, including a bugfix which is important to Ubuntu users, and unlike 2.1-3 it does not depend on the ibus-qt4 package, which is not present in the Ubuntu 19.04 archive.
