For the VN the platform was stretched and widened, bigger engines put in to suit our market and compete with the Falcon as a 'full sized' car.

Basically correct, although the 1st generation Commodore (VB-VL) was an Opel Rekord/Senator combination with Holden drivetrains, then the VN-VS was a widened Omega-A with Holden drivetrains. Then the VT-VZ was a widened Opel Omega-B with our drivetrains.
