Mine is that exact wheel. It's amazing what these guys can do to change the whole shape of the wheel, because that Looks nothing like how mine does.

Can you drop a flappy paddle wheel straight onto a Highline with DSG or does it need coding?

I might take a gamble anyway, there's a place near me that can code it I'm sure.
It doesn't need coding no. It's simply plug and play.
What you might have to do is swap out all the switch gear, although this takes a little nerves to do, it's a pretty simple job.

@Insert Coin Tourer is right. I was also told the paddle shift interfaces into DSG and activates it without coding. Apparently it's the ACC matching that causes problems. Either the buttons look wrong, or are wrong and it doesn't work. You need to be sure you have a compatible wheel where, as Tourer says, you or a fitter can swap out your switch gear 
That's why I'm buying a new wheel made, sold and fitted specifically as a T6 upgrade. Avoids me trying to tinker or any issues and if there are any, I know who to go back to.

I might just stick a cheap Passat/Polo DSG wheel on, they look plug and play and I can swap my buttons and airbag over where needed. If it all works I could then send it off for some trim work at a later date.
I'm on an economy drive with Xmas and 2 weeks in the sun to pay for, so looking to save a few pennies if possible.

To elaborate on my comment. Swapping the switch gear isn't difficult, it just takes nerves of steel, because you need more force than you think the wheel will take to remove the switches. The whole centre is a single part, which includes that aluminium trim and all the switches in one. I talked @Captain Backfire through this, and he removed the switch gear himself, and then sent his wheel off to be re-trimmed.
I'm sure he mentioned even the company he got the van from said this wasn't possible to do, and were surprised when he said it was.
On the same subject, i've done this several times now, and have no problem doing the swap, or helping anyone do this if they are local to me.
Just been round the block @StudleyGlass paddles work/ phone/radio buttons et, cruise control (will try on the motor way tonight) but the horn won’t work? Might this need coding?
I did not have to do any coding on my swap. I just swapped the wiring loom on the air bags and all was good. Have you done this ?
@StudleyGlass just swapped over and everything works fine! Happy days

This would be perfect for me! Was it a straight swap? Thanks!
