They're very much integrated features.

Basically in anything other than a straight line it will most likely be stability cutting in too, even in a straight line the stability may cut in as the back steps out when traction is lost.

It's very difficult to tell on borderline activations.

Try accelerating on a roundabout, give it some beans with a bit of lock on, that will 100% be stability keeping you from firing backwards into the nearest armco / hegde / ditch. You can feel the car do odd things and just keep going straighish in an odd understeery sensation as it brakes wheels etc.
