Does my car have an AFM?

Yes
It's connected to your airfilter.

Actually the circle on fc3seeker's drawing has almost entirely missed the AFM. It's the thing with the bracket sticking out the side immediately after the air filter.

S5's have a sliding-cone AFM made of black plastic, unlike the cast aluminium flapper AFM fitted to S4's.
