Will this show in the VIN check and as what?

Vin: 4USFE43517LY78582
Chassis: E70
Model: X5*3.0si
Engine: N52B30O1
You build date is 12/22/2006...so no...you do not have an LCI (life cycle impulse) or otherwise known as the “facelift”. You have an early build 2007 model year e70 X5. LCI usually comes 4-5 years into production.

You also have option code 2VB which is the (direct) RDC/TPM system that uses sensors in each wheel. The other (indirect) system if the RPA/FTM system which uses the ABS/wheel sensors to determine rotational speed to determine if the tire is flat.

If you want to switch from the RDC/TPM system to the RPA/FTM system, you’ll have to code to make the changes. It shouldn’t be hard to find the coding parameters needed to switch. Just use the correct terminology (or look/search using the correct terminology).
