Yes it is and if you have oil contaminated coolant I would suspect this is more likely to be your problem than a head gasket based on your description.

The oil cooler on the LSJ is of the liquid-liquid type. It is mounted to the side of the block immediately to the right of the oil filter housing. it uses engine coolant to manage oil temperature.

no there is no gasket between the two. There is two o rings thatseal the oil side of it, to the block. The oil flows inside it and coolant flows around it to control temps. If it has failed, it's done so internally.
