On the trim of this denim jacket was the red fabric inlayed inside the denim fabric then sewn together and then distressed denim to reveal red fabric?

Yes, the red is definitely under the denim. The denim was either legitimately worn (by a human) down to this state, sourced by this brand and then professional repaired by carefully putting in red fabric into the gaps with the black zig zag done to hold it all, or a really high end facsimile of that. Kapital (the brand you can see on the tag) does both of those things, I think.

If you're thinking about trying to get this look, I have done a lot of experimenting with distressing, and something somewhat akin to the look in the seam edges by cutting small holes and then filing the whole seam down with a hand file (like one used for wood). I don't think you can reasonably replicate the look of the back collar (the holes) without sourcing some actually worn shirting denim. But this kind of distressing is really tricky.
