Default How to tell for sure what is and what isn't a jdm motor

I was looking into buying a new motor for my build up. I keep seeing ones listed as JDm engines, but have been told they are usdm engine. What is a way i can tell for sure that a motor is a jdm engine? Also what is a good tuning program for a non Vtec, boosted SOHC engine. Thanks.
