No, the 2004 TriStar DVD is not a new title. Here's a quick breakdown of the Sony/TriStar Showa discs:

Sea Monster - New title card and credits.

Son of Godzilla - New title card and credits that simulate appearance of original intntl titles.

Hedorah - Original international titles and credits.

Gigan - New title card and credits that (poorly) simulate appearance of original intntl titles.

Mechagodzilla - Original international titles and credits. (Only the Toho logo is new.)

As evidence, check out these screenshots of the Mechagodzilla international title from the 1988 New World release, ~2000 Taiwanese DVD (which is from an original 16mm print of the intntl version), and the logo on Toho's international poster. http://imgur.com/a/d6e3l

Hope this clears it up.
