No Wolfsburg Edition in Germany - it quietly tuckered out in late 1991 just before the Vento (Jetta III) was introduced.

Found some contemporary Taiwanese brochures which use both American and German brochure images!

Seems the Jetta II was introduced in Taiwan in 1986 and after the facelift it was initially imported from West Germany. But:

Quote 此時,由於美金匯率相當低廉,因此貿易商便自美國大量導入於美國生產的美規Jetta和Golf車系,美規MK2也開始大量出現在台灣市場,而且進口數量龐大,台灣也成為了美製VW車系的主要輸出市場之一。
At this time, due to the low exchange rate of the U.S. dollar, traders imported a large number of American-spec Jetta and Golf models produced in the United States. American-spec MK2s also began to appear in large numbers in the Taiwan market, and the import volume was huge. Taiwan also got the American-made model.

So made for TW due to them explicitly importing the USDM version? 1991-92 then.

Not sure about the made for: TW tag, but we indeed had several traders specializing in importing US-spec VW in the 90s.
