No, your option sticker will, it's usually near your spare tire between the tail lights.

I found this VIN description info while surfing:

Chassis Numbering Scheme
WPO ZZZ 94 Z K N 4 00001-99999 Rest of World
WPO AAO 94 - K N 4 00001-99999 USA/Canada
..|.......|.......|..|.|..|..|..........|........
..A......B......C.D.E.F.G.........H.......

A. World manufacturer code
B. VDS code USA
C. 1st and 2nd digit of type
D. Test code or filling character
E. Model year: E=1984 F=1985 G=1986 H=1987 J=1988 K=1989
F. Place of production
G. 3rd digit of type
H. Serial number

My car, which has a "WPOAAO.." VIN (on the window pillar and various labels on the car) is a US car. However, on my engine compartment firewall, there is a metal label which has the WPOZZZ.. numbering scheme. I imagine that all bodies of this vintage were stamped with a "WPOZZZ.." badge prior to being designated for US or ROW. The proper VIN labels were attached later.

The Option Codes for your car are listed on a square white label in the rear hatch compartment on the back wall (just unsnap the carpet). The description of each code can be found at many sites including:
