Apple only started supporting native NFC tag reading in iPhone XS/XS Max/XR (meaning no app required to scan). For iPhone 7/8/X it still requires an app to read the NFC tag.
That might be the reason that your iPhone X can only recognize it as potential Apple Pay contact point. See if it's the same behavior on iPhone XS/XS Max/XR?
Here is an article that explains iPhone NFC compatibility pretty well:
