Petty much everything the NVA owned was disposed off post 1990. Some (like some BMP's and some naval armaments) were sold, a few kept (MiG-29) and the rest scrapped.

Correct!
Sweden and Finland got most (if not all) the MT-LB, BMP-1, and BMP-2 IFVs. Greece got RM-70's and Indonesia took possesion of several ships from the Volksmarine fleet. The Fulcrums went to Poland, later on.
