I'm aware that the variegation of the stem is important in terms of determining whether the cutting will produce a variegated plant. This cutting has variegation on the stem but the axillary bud seems like it's on the side of the stem that has little variegation.
Will this Aurea cutting produce a variegated plant?

Its hard to tell. Mine is extremely highly variegated. Its many years old, but it kind of reverted to juvenile form because it got set back by a huge cold event. So its still coming back out. Its sometimes really very difficult for me, myself, to look at a stem that has been cut into a small section like that and tell what it may look like

This is mine. Bear in mind....this plant is actually over 15 years old. It was a mature pinnate and fenestrate plant prior to 2010, when it suffered through catastrophic greenhouse heater disaster and froze. I was able to salvage a piece of meristem (that I found in 2017) and restart it. That is why the leaves are still juvenile. It has been growing laterally for a while, attached to a piece of driftwood, and has almost reached the big nice totem I have set up for it to climb up. This one has a lot of variegation on the stem, and it has both yellow and white/cream variegation on the leaves
