There's no guarantee a T113 CD will sound better than another version. This can also be said for a CD made in West Germany/Germany, Japan, or the USA.
Yes, your CD is a T113 <01> version....which means your CD was pressed in the first batch of this pressing. There are T113 <02>, T113 <03>, etc. versions too.
From what I heard, when CD is 1st introduced in the market which want to prove the sound quality is better than traditional LP, they used the best equipment and QC to manufacture the early batch of CD (do it oversea), so the quality should be good

If you are talking about HK CDs, there was no choice but to make the CDs overseas. CD production in HK didn't start until the early 1990s. Before the early 1990s, HK CDs were pressed in Japan, West Germany/Germany, USA, Korea, and Australia. Korea T113 CDs started showing up on the market beginning in about 1987.

T113 -- <01> on inner ring is only STAMPER number, the stamper can ship to any factory around the world
the only way to tell the pressing line is the little tiny likeifpi 4011 for JVC japan xrcd line
there is NOT way to tell on CD that's the first press. 01.02.03 only stamper number,
the first press can use 02 if the 01 stamper test failed
And very often the first 200cd when start machine simply use for tuning, throw away not use
DON"T be fool by the 2nd hand shop for high price
