Hi
Yes you will have to go to VAG as the aftermarket companies e.g. holts etc don't sell a match for oak green.  I got a can from VAG last year, I had to order it and it wasn't cheap (about ?13) but when it turned up that was for the base coat and a can of laquer so not too bad after all.

VW also sell official touch-up pens, they also come with laquer.

If you were doing isolated bits like big bumpers or a whole pannel then Halfords stuff would probably be good enough, but if doing repairs I would get genuine VAG stuff so you get the best match.
