Yes. Each player needs a separate copy of We Were Here Together to play co-op. It is an online game for two players, and the official sources reviewed do not identify a one-copy friend pass or local split-screen option.
What each player needs
Plan on one copy for each person, on the platform they will use. Total Mayhem Games states in its Nintendo Switch announcement that both friends need a separate copy. The announcement is specifically about the Switch release; the game’s official listings also describe online two-player co-op, and none of the reviewed official sources advertises a shared-copy pass.

Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King - PlayStation 4 | $27.40 | Buy on Amazon |

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS4) | $32.65 | Buy on Amazon |
That means buying the game once and inviting a friend who does not own it is not an established way to play. The official listings describe online multiplayer rather than local split-screen, so do not assume one console and one copy will let two people play together.
Check platform compatibility before buying
The developer and some platform listings advertise cross-platform play. However, the official material reviewed does not give a complete compatibility chart for every platform pairing. Before either player buys, confirm that the exact two devices you plan to use can connect in-game.
