If you’re in the UK, UK spec 6r and 6c Polos only have one reversing light from the factory on the nearside (left hand side light cluster) and one rear fog light on the offside (right hand side light cluster).
I don’t know if non UK cars have two reversing lights, but I dare say they’ll be equipped with one reversing light like UK cars, and if regulations require rear fog lights to be fitted, they’ll have one rear fog light.

Sorry, I don’t have a link.
This YouTube video shows that left hand drive cars also have just one reversing light (go to 1 minute 14 seconds in the video).

You’ve said your right hand reverse bulb isn’t working. If your car is a right hand drive car, it won’t have a reversing bulb in the rear right hand side light cluster - it will only have one in the rear left side light cluster. So if you have a working left side reversing bulb, everything’s working as it should.

In UK cars (which are right hand drive), the right hand rear light cluster has a high intensity red fog light instead of a reversing light. The rear fog light should only be used in conditions where visibility is poor (for example, in thick fog).

My car is from Spain, it also has one reverse light , because for EU you need the Fog light installed, countries like South Africa have 2 reverse I think because there isn't Fog there .
