Looks like the Highlander was built in Japan through the 2009 model year for the regular model, a mix of Japan and US built ones for model year 2010, and all USA (Indiana; not Ohio, that's Honda) after that. The Hybrids continued to be built in Japan until the 2013 model year, for my 2014+ they were made in Indiana.
As far as Origin, looks like the latest model (2014+, XU50) was designed in the US, and is no longer made in Japan.

Revisting the Toyota Highlander, I think the 2nd generation (XU40) should also be "Origin: USA". Looking into it, the second generation was designed at the Calty Studios in California by Ian Cartabiano (who is now head of Toyota ED2, the European Design Studio), and was not sold in Japan, just the US, Canada and Australia (as the Kluger). I would leave the "Built In" alone, as they started off in Japan and then production moved to the US, as outlined above. Unless anyone can think of a reason to keep in "Origin: Japan"?
