Officially (according to DMV records) it is the Toyota Scion FR-S, just like the Toyota Scion tC, Toyota Scion xB, etc. Scion is not a standalone auto manufacturer or brand like Lexus is.

My title will state Toyota FR-S, which I thought was kinda weird since it has a Scion badge on the front....oh well

I received my proof of insurance wallet cards today. It lists the make as Toyota and the model as Scion FR-S.

I have never owned a partnership produced car like this before so I had no experience. I do remember a Toyota Corolla and Chevy Nova/Geo Prizm that NUMMI started making back in the 80's and more recently the Vibe and Matrix cars.
Were these Novas, Prizms and Vibes listed as Toyotas also?

No. Geo was considered a standalone nameplate using cars from Toyota, Suzuki, and Isuzu. As for the Vibe, oddly enough it was the original JDM Toyota model and the Matrix bodywork was was designed for North America... weird... but the Vibe was listed as a Pontiac.

It wasn't the original Toyota model. The Toyota Voltz was actually made at the NUMMI factory in California and shipped to Japan as a Toyota, and production of the Voltz started about 4 months after the Vibe. (May, 2002 for the Voltz versus January, 2002 for the Vibe).

It is a car that was designed by both Toyota & Subaru manufactured by Subaru and sold in two variations in the U.S.
