AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says

Is it true that according to Aquinas, a bodily being's substantial form relates directly to its act of existing?

Yes. According to Thomas Aquinas's hylomorphic philosophy, bodily beings are composites of matter and substantial form, where the substantial form organizes matter and relates directly to the entity's existence.
