Does this look like copper?

Certainly looks like a standing seam copper roof you have there. Will last longer than the wood under it more than likely.

I am glad it is copper, but not super happy that to match it it will be pricey.

Yep. The metal alone will likely be well over $1000 and then it needs to be bent to fit and installed.

I'd think you're looking at close to $3000+ to have that piece of awning made and installed + whatever it costs to build the area to accept the awning.

Do you know copper is a ...... ?
Did you know patina is a ....... reaction?
There is no problem using chemicals to increase oxidation on the surface of copper, just look at all the options and make sure you get one that matches the natural patina. Once the patina is established the copper under is protected by the oxide, plus whatever chemical you use to create a patina will be your limiting reactant.
