Is this the touch layer?

No. This is the ribbon that connects the touch layer to the board. If the capacitive grid itself is dead, you need the touch digitizer instead.

How do I tell which one has failed?

Inspect the ribbon under magnification for tears, creases or damaged contacts — that points at the flex. A panel with an intact ribbon and no touch response points at the layer.

The touch flex cable for the iPhone XS — the ribbon carrying the touch layer's connection down to the board.

It is worth being precise here: this is the flex, not the capacitive touch layer. If the touch grid itself is dead you need the touch digitizer; if the ribbon is torn, creased or its contacts are damaged, this is the part.

Torn touch flexes are a common consequence of a previous screen separation, so check the ribbon before condemning a panel.
