For your 2020 Volkswagen Jetta, the Curt # C11540 you'd looked at will be a fit unless the vehicle is a GLI model. The hitch provides a 1-1/4 inch receiver, and you really won't need anything else. If your bike rack doesn't already have an anti-rattle feature, you might be interested in an anti-rattle device like part # RM-061-125 which will prevent the shank of your bike rack from moving about in the receiver tube. Other than that, you'll be good to go.

I've linked to the installation instructions for the # C11540 hitch as well as to a demonstration video for the anti-rattle device I mentioned.
