Essentially, is it the FAA or IATA that makes that determination or is it
air carrier policy?

It is FAA. It used to be that some foreign airlines would allow limited
cockpit visits on international flights, but I don't know if that is
still so. I remember fondly a flight on Air France from SFO to Chas.
DeGaulle and visiting the cockpit from Iceland to England.

Non-FAA'ed carriers, flying on non-FAA'ed routes, used to allow such.
I visited a Cathy Pacific 747 cockpit (Hong Kong - Sydney) and A340
(Melbourne - Hong Kong) in 1999.
