Yes, and that's the only way you can achieve that. Each (touch and
pen) should have their own input node.

That's not possible. There use to be something roughly like that in
the wacom.ko driver in the past, but this wasn't compatible with
wayland. So now every driver reports 2 input nodes in such cases.

HID should handle it properly. You should map it to BTN_TOOL_RUBBER in
case you are not using a HID device.
There is not much to do with this bit: if button is depressed, set the
tool to BTN_TOOL_RUBBER, and when released, switch back to
BTN_TOOL_PEN.
