There is no point in a strut brace on PQ35 chassis cars. The bulkhead is so close to the struts they're not meant to add any additional rigidity

How straight forward is fitting one of these braces?  I would refer to the one that goes into the vehicle cabin behind the rear seat.

Does it fit in directly without any modifications?

pudding:
MK5 doesn't need any bracing, front or rear.  You can't brace the rear without welding anyway due to the spring and damper mounting points.  The best way to make a MK5 hatchback as stiff as it can be is to weld in a Jetta rear seat bulkhead.
