But what counts as "can be tied"? Does asking the ISP that owns the address count? What about correlating with logs from other services you have access to?

If the police can tie the IP to a person, then it "can be tied". Some courts decided before GDPR that IP addresses can't convincingly be enough to tie a person to a crime committed with that IP address, but that is not to say it isn't PII, or can't be tied to a person.
