I think it's standard bracing (non-scalloped) just like a standard D-28 is. I their description of the guitar it says this under the VTS paragraph description:
"The guitar is then braced with a forward-shifted standard 5/16” X bracing pattern to add just the right of color to the tone" I have a 2017 D-28 that is fantastic with the straight forward shifted bracing, otherwise I'd definitely get this. I'm waiting for them to put the D-18VTS on a stupid deal of the day again. I actually chatted with them today to see if they'd lower the price on the D-18 VTS to $2000 like their SDOTD was back in December. No, that didn't work, so I just have to wait. But that is a seriously good deal today. I'll be curious to hear if anyone here jumped on it.

Good luck with the hunt. DebbieE. I'm really amazed with the deal offered for these Martin VTS Specials. Rooting for you to get another shot at the D-18 VTS Special. I can confirm that those D-18's have scallop top braces, just as UncleJessie brought up.
