Although larger offsets have some effect, your real problem is the sort 
(of 42693 rows).

Try:

SELECT r.id_order
FROM report r
WHERE r.id_order IN
   (SELECT id
   FROM orders
   WHERE id_status = 6
   ORDER BY 1
   LIMIT 10 OFFSET 1000)
ORDER BY 1

The subquery doesn't *have* to sort because the table is already ordered 
on the primary key.
You can still add a join to orders outside the subselect without 
significant cost.

Incidentally, I don't know how you got the first plan - it should 
include a sort as well.
