Well using Google to look up EQT is very helpful. Their website is reasonably informative about the company. You can find out for example that EQT established a new fund this year (2018) called EQT VIII.
For what it's worth -- I wasted some time trying to find out -- the "VIII" just means 8. It's EQT AB's fund number 8.
So no, SUSE isn't owned by EQT VIII -- it's owned by EQT, but the money came from EQT's fund № 8.
I suspect that isn't correct. I would expect the funds to be legally separate entities from the management company. They have separate legal representation, for example. I suspect that SUSE is owned by EQT VIII and that EQT Fund Management Sarl is an adviser. I believe my suspicions are confirmed by the ownership diagram on p41 of last year's annual review.
EQT is backed by the Wallenberg group:
