In fact for imports like this, shown nationwide, there would be a specific ITV region who would be responsible for compliance, editing and so on, and I believe in Home and Away's case that was Yorkshire, although they were never credited as such. You'll recall on Neighbours there was an extra credit for "BBC Television Presentation" which was the same thing.
I’m surprised to hear that it was Yorkshire who were “responsible” for Home and Away. It always seemed to be Thames/Carlton that played it out to the network (although quite a few stations recorded it off this feed and rescheduled it, and often played out the encore broadcast themselves). I’m not suggesting you’re wrong, but I do know that an early YouTube upload showing the “YTV Presentation” slide after H&A caused some confusion.
In the North East in 1996-98, we had a slide after some locally-produced shows that said “A Tyne Tees Television Production for Channel 3 North East”!! Even Crosswits sometimes used this slide locally, but a different one elsewhere. Imports were “A Channel 3 North East Presentation”.
Yes, that’s basically it. Cartoons, imports (including Home and Away), films etc in the YTV region would end with a Yorkshire Television caption. Until 1989, I believe the caption just said “Yorkshire Television” - with the 1989 rebrand the “presentation” slide arrived, but fulfilled the same purpose.
If you had been watching in the North West, you would have seen a Granada slide instead, and so on.
