Can my proof of onward travel from the US be to a country other than my country of citizenship?

It is not true that immigration officers want to see a return ticket. At the most they want to see a ticket that will take you out of the US. (Blogs often say “you should have a return ticket”, but that’s just shorthand for “a ticket out of the US”).

If they ask to see evidence that you will leave the US when you say, then showing them your ticket to Taiwan will serve just as well as a return ticket to Germany.

It’s not a good idea to lie to immigration (though if you say you are staying until 2nd October and actually leave on 21st August they are not going to care). In any case there is nothing to be gained. If they are going to approve your staying until 2nd October, they are going to approve your staying until 21st August.

In short: Buying a return ticket was completely unnecessary. Ignore it and show immigration your Taiwan ticket if they ask. It won’t cause problems.
