Yes, it says it's "Recommended For" the VW spec. That doesn't mean it meets it. It's valvoline saying it will probably work fine in your car, not VW saying it's the correct fluid for your car.
Look at the spec sheet:

You'll see a slew of applications it's "recommended for". I'm not saying this ATF won't work well in the 09A; I
am saying this fluid is in no way tested, approved, or recommended by VW or JATCO for use in that transmission. It's just Valvoline printing some numbers on a bottle.
If you go off of that "recommended for" list, you could use Mobil Delvac 1 ATF in the 09A (they list MB 236.91, which is the Allison automatic fluid / TES-295
