The re-badged model was the earlier N12 version, with the 1.5L Nissan engine. When they facelifted the Pulsar, they kept building the original version as the Astra. From memory, it was because the Isuzu Gemini didn't have a hatchback version.
The 1.8L N13, was more of a joint venture. Featuring Holden's locally built "Camtech" engine, and possibly a GM transaxle. Nissan kept using the engine, even after the JV came to an end
