Well, the South American version of this has been unveiled. Also, this should be of Brazilian origin, as the official press release for it states the following:

'The new model has been developed by Volkswagen South America and will be manufactured initially at the Anchieta factory, in São Bernardo do Campo, SP, to be commercialized in the South American market. In a second moment, the model will be made also in Europe.'

So, yeah. It's not German origin.

Origin hère means the company's origin not the car itself.

No, that’s not entirely correct. We tend to look at where a car was developed, and when unclear, we use the company’s origin.

Changed origin to Brazil, since apparently this is the first global VW developed by Volkswagen do Brasil.

The European version's name has apparently changed to Taigo instead of Nivus. It has already been spotted without camouflage:
