According to the most recent (31 March 2020) raw Apple Support document Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 13, iPadOS 13, and macOS Catalina, neither the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III nor Olympus Stylus Tough TG-6 are supported. The ORF file format is supported for other Olympus camera models though. I was able to open an ORF image file from the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II. I tried opening image files from the Mark III and TG-6 models in Affinity Photo for iPad without success. Curiously, Affinity Photo for Mac will open them. Conceivably this inconsistency will be resolved with forthcoming support for iPad. Whether the recent announcement by Olympus for the divestiture of its imaging business impacts future support for these two models is unknown.
All is not lost though. You have two options on iPad. Use another app which can open and edit the ORF files from the two models or convert them to Adobe’s non-proprietary, archival raw format Digital Negative (DNG). Adobe Lightroom for iPad can do both. Once converted you can import the DNG raw files into Affinity Photo for iPad. Adobe Lightroom for iPad is free to download. To edit raw image files requires a subscription. However, no subscription is required to convert from ORF to DNG and then export.
Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III ORF converted to DNG and opened in Affinity Photo for iPad
Olympus Stylus Tough TG-6 ORF converted to DNG and opened in Affinity Photo for iPad
RAW, actually - Affinity Spotlight
