Wow, you have a spun rod bearing that underwent some creative metal shaping! Yes it is looking like a complete teardown. The crankshaft journal will have been messed up I presume. I think there is good news here with a lot of the other parts, new pistons etc.

Oh it is a really good thing they shut it down. That rod would likely have made a really big hole in the block.
