It was added in the 2019 models onwards.
However, make sure that the local models in Columbia have it installed. There are regional differences in the specifications of the vehicles and whilst you are likely to see UK, Europe and Australaisa owners talking about these features, not all countries got them. For example some markets got virtually no electronics at all eg. some countries having strange handle things on the inside of the doors which you have to turn to make the windows go up and down
This applies to items such as Fog and DRLs, Lidar, Airbag systems, lighting specifications etc.
Some markets got "more" that UK/EMEA such as push button start, idle engine stop/start, keyless entry

With a manual Jimny, I can't say that I find the hill start assist all they useful on road. It really doesn't hold for very long and is easier to just use the handbrake.
It has been handy off road a couple of times. But in almost 4 years of ownership and 25,000 miles I think I've only used it a few times.

I have it turned on permanently, it holds or 3 seconds which is more than enough time for you to take you foot off the brake and engage the clutch. You don't even know it is there most of the time in day to day driving.

Lots of automatic cars had it in The Real Olden Days (1950s & 60s), it was called "anti-creep" and was supposed to stop the car creeping forwards if you didn't have your foot on the brake, but it worked as an anti-roll back too.
The gearbox supplied pressure to the rear brakes when your foot was off the accelerator. I don't know how it knew the car was stationary, maybe it was all the time it was in first gear, or maybe there was an extra pump on the output shaft that would open a valve when the car was moving (very likely as I'm sure you could bump start them so there must have been a pump on the output to provide pressure to engage gear)..
I'm sure my late father's 1964 Rover P5 had it.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

You made me Google (it must be correct)
If we exclude horse drawn vehicles and apply to the horseless carriage we have today it was1936 Studebaker....
I still count the handbrake as hill start assist, find bite point and release, one smooth action, not that difficult
