If you look at the waveforms on the sense electrodes, they are not doing simple stuff, it's a complex multiplexed dance of charge measuring cycles.
Any AC signal you hit it with would need to be synchronous and rather complex to work as a reliable trigger signal.
That sounds more like a TOUCH SCREEN than a touch button. Certainly the description seems like a touch screen.
