You are somewhat correct. The Toyota Van was sold in other parts of the world as the Toyota Townace (http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_133515-Toyota-TownAce.html), an updated version of which is still being produced (http://toyota.jp/townacevan/index.html).The Hiace is a larger van, that is still in production. It has gone through several stying changes, of course.(http://toyota.jp/hiace/).
