We implemented a banner on a website that is using our own Matomo instance, but on a different domain, because some other customer projects use the same Matomo instance. We weren't sure if that counts as owned by a third party, so it was decided to implement the banner. Better be safe than sorry.

I don't think that it is always trivially obvious how to correctly comply, like some other comments claim. Especially when you really want to eliminate all legal risk and avoid Abmahnfallen.

IANAL, but if the people/company running it is the same entity I think you should be fine. Browers on the other hand will only look at the domains and think it's somebody else... So... Yes, better safe than sorry.
