According to Tekonsha, the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3062-P will fit your 2019 Subaru Ascent and allow you to use the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller part # TK90160. The plug is located underneath the dash and left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal which you can see in the attached photo.

Yes, you would just connect the bare wires from the Subaru harness to the pigtail wiring that's included with the Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160. On the controller - the red wire is for brake input, the blue wire is for brake output, the black wire is for 12V power, and the white wire is for ground.
