Unfortunately data defined parameters for algorithms are not yet usable in models (well, they are, it's just that there's no gui to set them yet) and can currently only be used through the toolbox. For this reason the old "variable distance buffer" algorithm is still available for use in models. Hopefully in 3.2 we get a GUI for using data defined parameters within models.
