Can't find USB to RS232 device on Windows IOT / Raspberry Pi

Question

I have a USB to Serial cable that plugs into a custom built electronics board.

I'm trying to write a UWP app that will 'talk' with it. I have a Raspberry Pi 3, Windows IOT.

I have the capability set:

<Capabilities>
  <DeviceCapability Name="serialcommunication">
    <Device Id="any">
      <Function Type="name:serialPort" />
    </Device>
  </DeviceCapability>
</Capabilities>

I run this code on my local machine and on the remote machine (Pi):

string AQS = SerialDevice.GetDeviceSelectorFromUsbVidPid(0x067B, 0x2303);

DeviceInformationCollection currentDevices = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(AQS); 

var devicesFound = currentDevices.Count;

On the Local Machine (x86) it says I have 1 device, connects and chats fine..

On the Remote Machine it says there is 0

I've tried booting the Pi with the device plugged in, plugging while booted - What am I missing here?

Edit

I ran a devcon stack * in the console and found my device:

USB\VID_067B&PID_2303\5&3753427A&0&3
    Name: USB-Serial Controller
    Device is not set up
    Controlling service:
        (none)

and devcon status:

USB\VID_067B&PID_2303\5&3753427A&0&3
    Name: USB-Serial Controller
    The device has the following problem: 28
    Problem status: 0xC0000490

Does this mean I need a driver?
