When i had your problem it was situated in drivers side door, looked exactly like that. VW replaced to fix.

Mine was in for a service last week, similar issue with the door module showing a fault and had one or two issues with the alarm. Turned out to be a flat battery. Not enough charge to unlock the door.

To answer your question, yes that is it, comes as a complete unit and as long as you don't have folding mirrors can be found quite cheaply all over ebay as there all standard except if you have folding mirrors

The black box and motor are all one part, don't get me wrong it can be split but no one usually sells like that, virtually all 2nd hand units are motor and black box.

You can't buy the black box, you have to buy a complete motor
