No not factory , definately aftermarket , yeah it looks like you are missing sumpin there , doubt if it will cause you any dramas , but heres a suggestion for you if you are worried , this is what i did with mine ( i had an aftermarket immobilizer fittedd to my vt when i brought it and didnt have the code ) . I went to the transport dept an paid $14 i think it was for a vehicle owners history report , lucky mine had had only two , i tracked em down an they told me how to recode it , very helpfull even posted me out the manual for it
At 43 a wealth of info , but still heaps to learn
Looks like the post to swipe over a key tag for an immobiliser system. Would say it's been bypassed if the car is starting fine now.

3 button head???
You could have just bought the buttons.... VR,VS,VT,VX,VY,VZ -WH,WK & WL KEY BUTTONS (3)
Now there is a procedure that needs to be done to encode the key head to the cars BCM/ECU & ISS systems, otherwise they are useless. Holden should be able to do this for you, but I seem to remember, somewhere(I'll do a quick search...) and let you know if I find anything.
Please ignore my FIRST post.... Just seen that you have a HSV VT GTS... then... this is the correct details: Apologise.
The new HSV Integrated Security System (ISS) is fitted as standard equipment to all HSV VT and VS models. The ISS is a micro-processor controlled immobiliser which automatically isolates essential electrical circuits when the ISS is armed and accessory or ignition ‘ON’ is detected. The immobiliser is disarmed using a valid ignition key code and uniquely coded black tags which contain a small chip incorporating specific codes.
The HSV ISS has been improved for the VT range of vehicles. The vehicle no longer requires use of the black ISS tag each time the vehicle is started. The ISS records the ignition key code and will disarm when a valid vehicle ignition key is detected at the key slip ring. Up to seven vehicle ignition keys and seven ISS black tags can be assigned to the vehicle if required.
NOTE:
IF THE KEY-HEAD BECOMES UNSERVICEABLE AND FAILS TO DISARM THE ISS, THE ISS MAY BE DISARMED USING THE BLACK TAG UNTIL A REPLACEMENT KEY IS INTRODUCED.
INTRODUCING NEW KEYS
A red MASTER TAG is also supplied with each ISS. This tag is used to place the ISS into `Learn’ mode: touching the red tag to the status monitor (located in the glove box) will cause the LED flash rate to increase which indicates that learn mode is operative. In this mode, codes for lost tags/keys may be overwritten and new keys/tags may be introduced as follows:
With the ISS in learn mode, insert ignition key and turn ignition switch to ‘IGN ON’ position. The status monitor will change to indicate ignition key code has been successfully stored (LED goes off). ISS will return to normal mode. Retouch red tag if more ignition keys are to be introduced.
With ISS in learn mode, touch new black tag to receptacle for approximately 2 secs. Status monitor LED will change to indicate key code has been successfully stored (LED on). ISS will return to normal mode. Retouch red tag if more black tags are to be introduced.
NOTE:
THE ISS WILL RECOGNISE SEVEN KEY AND TAG CODES. IF A TAG OR KEY IS LOST, THE
REMAINING/NEW CODES MUST BE ENTERED SEVEN TIMES TO ENSURE THAT THE CODE FOR THE LOST KEY OR TAG HAS BEEN OVERWRITTEN AND CANNOT DISARM THE ISS.
NOTE:
RED TAGS MUST BE STORED IN A SECURE LOCATION REMOTE FROM THE VEHICLE. DO NOT STORE
RED TAG IN VEHICLE. LOSS OF A RED TAG WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE ISS SYSTEM IF KEYS ARE LOST OR DAMAGED VICE OPERATIONS
If an ignition key has been damaged and does not transfer a valid code, the ISS may be disarmed by touching a valid black tag to the status monitor: this will transmit code to the BCM and enable vehicle start No periodic servicing of the ISS is required and no additional information is provided or available on the system. HSV dealers are not authorised to carry out any servicing operations on the ISS system. All requests for information and/or assistance are to be forwarded directly to the Service Manager at HSV. Before making this request and at any time that correct operation of the ISS is suspected, the following functional check should be performed:
Check ISS status monitor (located in glovebox) to ensure ISS is in armed mode—i.e. slow flash
Place a piece of tape over the ignition key slip ring contact to break the electrical circuit between ignition key and ignition barrel slip ring, Turn key to start position—vehicle should not start
