SO power steering hose rubbed a hole in the aluminum coolant pipe that goes from the reservoir to the radiator/intercooler pump. Can someone confirm this is the part number?

You're good. I replaced mine for the same reason. I used a piece of heater hose and placed it around the area where the power steering hose comes in contact with the filler hose to prevent it from happening again.
I had the same issue last year. In my case it was complicated by the fact that my headlight washer motor decided to spring a leak on literally the same day, and as both fluids were blue and the coolant leak was intermittent, it was a bit of a problem to track it all down. LOL!
In my case, I used the rubber covered hose clamps from the old pipe to insulate the new one from having the same issue. It is a bit of a bear to reach everything to get the old pipe out if you haven't already done it. 90 Degree short length tools would be handy, as there is very little clearance between the radiator abd the accessory belt systems. I believe the hose clamp was a torx if memory serves. May possibly have been a small metric like a 10 mm. If you have really big hand/forearms, it's not going to be much fun.
