Yes, that is current formulation G13.
As an 2008 it was probably shipped with G12++, which you can't get any more from Audi/VW. Still available in Pentosin brand. Audi dealer stuff like you got is often as cheap or cheaper now than G12++.
G12++ and G13 can be mixed, and the only apparent difference is more glycerin in G13. Has to do with them wanting to claim a carbon reduction, not a formulation quality related one as best I can tell.
