You are correct '90 & '91 no ASR, '92 - '96 yes ASR

When you drive an ASR C4 for the first time, it can be a surprise. When the ASR activates, it actually forces the throttle shut and you feel it in your right foot. The gas pedal pushes back at you. I believe that the ASR system also activates the ABS and applies braking to the spinning wheel. (correct me if I am wrong).

I leave ASR on except when I am drag racing or am doing spirited driving in a place where I am sure I won't get damaged if I get out of control.

I had ASR OFF on a '96 LT4 and a wet patch of road put me in the woods. I believe today that ASR would have reacted fast enough to keep me out of the trees.
