You do not need access to the mapping. It's only important if such a mapping is possible.

It says access to the mapping is required. Point 49.

>a dynamic IP address registered by an online media services provider [...] constitutes personal data within the meaning of that provision, in relation to that provider, where the latter has the legal means which enable it to identify the data subject with additional data which the internet service provider has about that person.

No access important. Mapping is possible only with access.

So IPs and time stamps are not PII by themselves.
