Most likely, but as it has been stated, this is not a 100% test.  The
test kit will be your best bet.

Your not going to be able to do anything with it if you find it to be
PCB's, so I would just put it all back together, clean up what spilled,
and move on. (I am not trying to sound harsh with that)

The paper burned (the oil was still wet, I tried right after dipping)
almost instantly.  I would say 1/2 second after the flame hit it.  This
is
good news right?
