I cannot work out exactly what you want, but a quick translation
of the code you posted would be the following.

function! Test()
for a in range(20)
for b in range(20)
$put =printf('1.2.%x:%d', a, b)
endfor
endfor
endfunction
call Test()

The '$put' appends to the current buffer ($ = last line) the
value of the expression ('='). The printf generates a string
containing '1.2.', then a in hex, then ':', then b in decimal.
