Mar 24, 2017 at 16:43 comment added YCor You have to specify the generating subset, otherwise the asymptotic cone is not defined up to isometry; in particular for $\mathbf{Z}^2$ you implicitly mean the standard generating subset. For Heisenberg, see section 9 in Breuillard's paper "Geometry of groups of polynomial growth and shape of large balls", GGD, math.u-psud.fr/~breuilla/PolGrowth25.pdf. It will be a Finsler metric with respect to some norm on the 2-dimensional tangent plane at 1 of the contact structure, with some polyhedral 1-ball (depending on the choice of generating subset).
