Yes. The etrailer # e98906 will be plenty strong to allow you to carry a bike rack and bikes with a weight of up to 350-lbs total on your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. This hitch has a 2" receiver that will allow you to carry a wide variety of hitch mounted accessories, in addition to a bike rack.
If you're looking for a 3 bike rack to use on your new hitch, I recommend using the RockyMounts Westslope # RKY10223 because the platform makes it easy to get bikes on and off, plus this rack tilts away from your vehicle to allow you access to the rear cargo area. This is a 3 bike carrier that will fit in the 2" receiver of the # e98906. Since this rack doesn't come with any locks, I recommend adding the Cable Locks and Hitch Lock for RockyMounts WestSlope Bike Racks # RKY10224 to help protect your investments.
I've linked a helpful review video of this rack that you may want to have a look at, as well.
