They have different designations (and body styles) in Europe. My guess is that 1.5 LS Vtec is the EDM d15b civic. :edit: To be clear, I don't think he's saying it's LS/vtec. I think LS is the trim level of the car, and it has a 1.5 vtec engine
As for what that ground is for, I can't say, my civic doesn't have a ground in that location.
