If the content is visually presented as a dialog, it should have a dialog role. If it doesn't I'd fail it under WCAG 4.1.2 for not presenting its role.
Also, if it isn't a dialog, what happens when you press tab with focus on the last interactive element in the dialog, where does the focus end up? Based on that it's possible that I might fail it under 2.4.3, but failing it under 1.3.2 would be a bit creative.
I think there's a 95%+ chance the content is visually presented a a dialog/overlay/popover, what have you, and then it needs the dialog role (+ accessible name and aria-modal="true" if it is modal) for a screen reader user.
