Software Ideas Modeler doesn't display frames around diagrams. I will add this option in one of next versions.
However, if you want to draw it now, you can do it this way:
1. Create Sequence diagram
2. Insert Frame
3. Double-click on frame (or right-click and choose Properties)
4. Open Frame tab
5. Rename type to State machine
6. Confirm dialog using OK button
7. Copy Frame (Ctrl+C) from sequence diagram
8. Paste Frame (Ctrl+V) into your state machine diagram
9. Now, you can delete the sequence diagram created in the first step
