The formatting codes '%w' and '%W' are only relevant to SNMPv1 traps.
They report the 'trap_type' field of an SNMPv1 trap header.

SNMPv2 notifications (both SNMPv2c and SNMPv3) do not use the
same header structure, and so do not have a 'trap_type' field.
This value is therefore always 0.

If you are working with SNMPv2-style traps, then yes - use the snmpTrapOID
varbind.
