Play it safe and install the vapour barrier. Moisture build-up may or may not be an issue although I would think that in the dead of Winter, the unheated garage could be sitting at near freezing and the heated garage at a comfortable +18. I would think that to be enough of a difference to create the potential for moisture build-up. There is also the issue of some heat loss which the vapour barrier would mitigate.

To the OP . . . it's a garage. Does it need to look pretty inside? If not, pulling down drywall and reinstalling with 6mil is a fairly simple job.
