Why is this, have they stopped using FSC codes?

AFAIK, FSC codes are still used. If the car needs a new FSC code, it prompts for it before it starts loading the new maps.
For your case, I think the FSC code built into your car at the factory was already enabled for the 2104-2 map (sequence 0x05) even though it was loaded with 2014-1 (sequence 0x04). I've heard of this happening in the US too.
I'm guessing that when you start the installation of a new map, the software checks that the map region codes match and only prompts for a new FSC code if the installing map sequence number is greater than the sequence number stored in the cars' current FSC.
This would explain the ability to revert maps to prior versions (which I have heard other people doing) without having to re-install an old FSC code.
This has interesting implications!
