Hello,
Is there a reason you need to do this with the rest api? I was curious as I know this sort of task can be handled with a SharePoint view in the library by showing the "checked out to" column. The only other catch to this is the new files that were uploaded and not checked in for the first time that can be caught in the Library Settings > Managed files with no checked in version page.

You are right files with no checked in version that were not uploaded by you are not visible via REST (as far as I can find via testing). What is your use case to find these files? You could probably write a script to get this using CSOM.
