JDM means "Japan Domestic Market".

In other words, the transmissions are OEM items that were originally
installed in vehicles sold to Japanese dealers in cars that complied with
Japanese safety regs, emissions standards, and driving conditions.

Some other DMs:
EUDM - Europe Domestic Market
USDM - US domestic market

There are more, but memeory fails me.
