The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11474 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2013 VW Jetta SportWagen TDI diesel model. I actually called my contact at Draw-Tite to verify this. This Class I hitch is custom fit for the vehicle, which means it will use existing holes in its frame for a no-drill installation. It will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds.
I have attached an installation video on your 2013 model Jetta SportWagen that you can use for reference.
If you are still looking for a bike rack to secure your mountain bikes, you will just want to make sure the the rack is compatible with Class I trailer hitches. Also note that the most bikes a Class I hitch can safely support is 2.
I really like the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR. This platform-style carrier uses ratcheting hooks to hold your bikes by the wheels with no frame contact. It can secure 2 bikes of up to 40 pounds each and features an easy-to-use, spring-loaded foot pedal that allows you to tilt the rack back for easy rear cargo access on your VW.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this bike rack so you can get a closer look at all of its individual features.
