It just goes on whatever is older - if you had a mk2 astra GTE engine (20XE) in you car, it wouldn't require a cat. But if you had, for example, a 1985 car with an engine from a 1995 car you wouldn't need one either. I've got a decat on my motor and had a look at the rules, not dead sure if the second part's correct but the first bit defientely is so your tester's talking balls.
But a LET wasn't available out the factory in any cars without a cat was it? Needs to be a car/ engine registered on or before 1st August 1992.
edit to say, I can't find anything to back me up with the second part. Basically I mean it in the way that if you put an X18XE1 (just for example) from a mid 90's car into a 1989 Nova I don't think you would need to run a cat. But as I'm saying I'm not sure.
