can anyone help me here?
I'm a bit confused, I just received my new Verbatim 43888 drive,
on the sticker it says KIAB which from what I read should be Pioneer, but I'm still a bit in doubt :-)
and from what I can read it's still necessary to flash the drive,
is that correct and can anyone help me with how to do it?

You have the LG drive. Pretty much all Verbatim 43888 drives are coming with the LG drive inside.

There's a post just a few up from yours with a succinct list of instructions with links to the flashing guide and the relevant bits. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=173504#p173504
