I'm 90% sure that's an asbestos ceiling.

This cat is protecting us from more than you know

Popcorn ceilings haven't been made with asbestos since around 1982ish, in the US at least. They were still popular through the mid aughts so hopefully not asbestos.

Popcorn ceilings were very popular into the 2000s. The chances this is asbestos are pretty low.

Yeah we've got a few in our house that definitely aren't asbestos, just drywall mud or however they did it. Makes it much harder to hide a repair...
