Hi there. Your car should have come with a fob as far as I know. My 2000 VTS has it certainly (weirdly I didn't get a fob either, but I found the circuit board lying in the ashtray complete with broken buttons which I was able to repair and fit into a new housing).
On older cars, you would be able to tell by the fact that there would be an infra red receiver mounted in the roof, next to the position of the aerial, however your car would be an RF keyfob and so it will just be an aerial built into the system and will be hidden (under the dash somewhere I believe).
I think you can safely assume it would have come with a fob, however if you don't have one then I think you are in the hands of a dealer or some other company that can encode them to the car. I'm not sure if it is possible to buy a circuit board and fob online and pair it up yourself using Lexia - you can use Lexia to code a key (i.e. the immobiliser chip) to the immobiliser ECU, if you have your key code card (to my amazement my car came with that in the handbook) but I am not sure if you can use this function in Lexia to code an RF key fob to the car, maybe someone else could comment on that.
