I'm not sure if you have the same transmission as my '99 bug, but there's a good chance you do. I have a document saved describing how to change the fluid, and at the end is a section on checking the fluid level. Here's the content:
This is a condensed version of what is in the Bentley Manual:
FLUID LEVEL CHECKING PROCEDURE
Now start the car and go into the transmissions data blocks under transmission with your VAG-Com and go to block 005, this will display fluid temp.
-ATF temperature not above approx. 30C (86F)
-Vehicle level
-Selector lever in "P"
-If ATF is below 30C (86F) bring the ATF up to test temperature. Test temperature: 35C to 45 (95 to 113F)-Remove ATF level plug from oil pan.
CHECKING PHYSICAL QUANTITY
If ATF drips out of hole:
ATF need not be topped up.
-Install new seal on plug and tighten to 15 Nm11 ft lb). ATF check is completed.If ATF does not drip out
-Remove plug from filler line.
-Fill with ATF until ATF runs out of level hole
-Install new seal on plug and tighten to 15 Nm (11 ft lb). ATF check is completed.CAUTION!
Too little or too much ATF will adversely affect transmission function.
Obviously most of us don't have a VAG-Com scanner, so I assume you'll just want to bring the car up to normal operating temperature by driving it (just idling it probably won't heat up the transmission fluid to normal temperature).
Other than that, you've got the basics of it down already.

I understand I am suppose to loosen the fill plug and if fluid "drips" out slowly then it's good. But if nothing comes out, then I need to add. Correct?
