If a tracker was fitted as standard, it will not have been factory fitted.
It will be a UK system, that works with the systems used by UK Police etc., and will be fitted at the port of entry. A system designed for Japan would not be useful in the UK.

This is quite common procedure for alarms, immobilisers, trackers.
Sometimes even standard-fit alloy wheels and sunroofs have been fitted a the port of entry (e.g Daewoo Nexia and Espero).

Your V5 should tell you the type approval number, which should allow you to find out if it is a proper UK-spec car (with full European type approval) or a grey-market car (with Single-Vehicle approval).
It may also state in the Notes section the status of the car.

Alternatively contact Subaru UK with the VIN, and ask.

Sorry for my ignorance but arent all WRX imprezas imports.
Im lead to belive the uk spec cars just carry the word 'turbo'
Trackers are around £400.
