Looks exactly like my stock RS shifter actually, although it may have geometry differences. The real difference between the STi shifter and stock WRX is in the linkages. There's an explanation on scoobymods.com of the exact differences.

There's an attached metal grommet for the reverse lock-out.

No that's a stock shifter either for a WRX or RS not sure but it's not an STi shifter lever. Plus if you got the STi lever you really can't use it because the bend in the lever makes the rod that attaches it needed too. It has a little more room to fit the bend:
