Aerkuld,
You are correct! This past weekend I spoke with a Porsche source whom I trust to have this knowledge and he confirmed what you have said; namely, that the blue VW/Audi factory coolant is compatable with the yellow-green Porsche original factory fill. He said that a few years ago the factory changed to the bright pink coolant that I got at the local Porsche dealership.
Warning, he said that the "old" yellow-green factory fill and the "new" pink coolant are incompatible and may form a gel if you mix them. Not something that is good for a water-cooled Porsche.
So, if you have the original yellow-green factory fill in your car, you can either add some blue VW/Audi blue OR completely drain and flush the coolant and refill with the new pink Porsche coolant. It is probably best to do the latter, just to be safe.
