What this manual has that the owner's manual does not

The owner's manual stops where the repair starts. The factory repair manual picks up from there:

• Owner's manual: controls, warning lights, maintenance schedule, fluid types
• Factory repair manual: removal and installation steps, torque specs, diagnostic trouble codes, wiring diagrams and component locations

The 2004 Touareg belongs to the first-generation Touareg (7L), model years 2003–2010. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but options, software and wiring changed along the way, which is why the manual is built for your VIN.
