Looks like it's been disabled for at least 6 years:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettings-desktop-
schemas/-/blob/master/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications.gschema.xml.in?ref_type=heads
so whether or not it gets toggled automatically is probably up to gnome-
shell.

Title:
Onscreen keyboard is disabled by default
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Starting in GNOME 46 touchscreen input on the X11 session has become
unusable
the touchscreen is responsive on the desktop itself (moving the
cursor) but does not interact with most things
on GNOME 46 on the current version of Ubuntu Noble, touch input does NOT work
with:
- On screen keyboard (touch is registered but no keystrokes get input)
- clicking options in gnome appindicators (indicators can be opened but
clicking any option does nothing)
- interacting with application overview (cannot press left and right buttons
or search bar)
- selecting textboxs
- any of the touch gestures (eg: swipe up from bottom to bringup keyboard)
All of the above worked just fine on GNOME 45 on Ubuntu Mantic (and
Ubuntu Noble from March and earlier before it was "upgraded" to GNOME
46).
Tested on a fresh image as well as an old image from February running
GNOME 45 upgraded to the latest packages with GNOME 46
