Is this the original DMG audio jack on the diagramm? I'm a little confused because the labels are different. :?

Yes, i made this a while ago for a user on this forum.
But the labels are really self explanatory:
LI - Left In
LO - Left Out
RI - Right In
RO - Right Out

Okay here is what I did for working stereo headphone jack and a working original Gameboy volume wheel:

[strike]Your diagram is faulty[/strike]. There are no RO and LO Pins. The pins on the right hand side (A and B) are a switch: No headphone connected: Both Pins are connected. Headphone connected: Connection between pins are cut.

There are, you just have a different version of the audio jack with a different pinout, as there are at least 2 around in the original gameboy.
And those are Left and Right out, as this is where you will have output if no headphones are plugged in. As simple as that.
