Can someone tell me what type of ignition system is on my 03 Volvo Penta 5.0 Gxi-b (MPI). According to my Seloc manual they state there are 6 different systems.

Conventional breaker points
Delco Electronic Spark Timing System (EST)
Prestolite Breakerless Inductive Distributor (BID)
Volvo Electronic Engine Management (EMM)
Ford Thick Film Intergrated Ignition System (TFI-IV)
Distributorless Electronic Ignition (DEI)

Now on the chart next to the 5.0 GXi they have NA.
Can someone explain to me what this NA means? What ignition system do I have?

NA usually means "Not Applicable". They may be referring to the fact that you don't have any of those ignition systems, you have the GM "Intake Air Fuel Module", which includes the intake manifold, upper plenum, throttle body, distributor (sometimes called the HVS distributor), ignition coil and coil driver, all controlled by a MEFI4 ECM.
