I just looked at some lines I have & the oem lines have a metal crimped section half way down that locks the line not allowing the length/position to change unlike the braided lines.
Not the best pic but I just checked my T4 & it is the same, the lines are fixed rigid halfway down the flexible rubber hose. The braided lines have a sliding sleeve allowing the hose to change length at either end.

Yes, there is a sleeve/bracket or whatever you want to call it that is secured at the same place as the Volvo hose. Only difference as you have already mentioned, is that the hose can slide around.
