I think it was only the fifth generation lean burn VX that had a non-lean burn ECU for California. Thereafter, beginning the 1996 model year, Honda lean burn engines were acceptable in California and Honda did not produce a Cali-specific, non-lean burning ECU. The sixth and seventh generation HX (1996-2005) had lean burn nationwide, as did the first gen Insight (2000-2006).
BTW, this looks like a stellar example of this car. Some smart person in LA should go look it over. If it is what it says it is, and it seems on the up-and-up, it is a nice little ride with lots and lots of use still in it.
