My original antenna that come with vx8de broke, so I bought the new one on ebay, which was said to be original. Delivered from Italy. When the package arrived I noticed that antenna is lacking VS logo at its base.
I emailed parts@yaesu.com, but I didn't get an answer on my question, instead they replied that they do not offer these antennas anymore. Package doesn't say anywhere 'Yaesu'.

Is this antenna I got original/genuine ?

Every verifiable Yaesu antenna I have has "YS" molded into the plastic covering near the base. My guess is that you got a counterfeit.

By the way, it seems to be the logo is VS, which means vertex standard
