I doubt we would have, because it would have been in Japanese, as would the packaging and any inserts.
Today, a casual collector workmate was adamant that, back in 1980s Australia, he received a mail-away G1 Omnibot in Japanese box with Japanese instruction booklet by redeeming robot points. I told him that would be unlikely, providing the reasons you gave me. Just thought i'd check with the experts here since i was not in Australia back then, and in SE Asia, we were lucky to have both Japanese and US versions of G1 toys, sometimes side by side on store shelves, and with the Japanese ones at a lower price point!
