That is correct, if you truly mean the Apple Store and not the iTunes Store or the App Store. You can download it from the App Store, which is always on your phone; it can't be deleted. However, it can be disabled in Screen Time settings. You can also download the iTunes store using app store, per the same restrictions.


You should also be able to check to see if either is actually on your phone, and just "lost". Open Search and search for the app by name; if it is on the phone it will appear in the search along with the name of the folder that contains it. If it is not on the phone there will be a link to download it.
