Is the inciting incident when Oedipus realizes that the prophecies have all come true in 'Oedipus Rex'?

No, Oedipus' realization that all the prophecies come true is not the inciting incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the inciting incident is the event that makes the story possible. Without it, there is no story. It occurs in the beginning of the play. In contrast, Oedipus' realization occurs at the end.

Why are Jocasta and Oedipus joyous about the news of Polybus' death in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That Oedipus cannot be the cause and that therefore all prophecies do not come true are the reasons why Oedipus and Jocasta are joyous about the news of Polybus' death in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus fears a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. But he and his wife, Queen Jocasta, hear from a Corinthian messenger about the death of Oedipus' father, Corinthian King Polybus, from old age and illness. At the time of death, Oedipus is in Thebes and therefore nowhere near Corinth. Jocasta therefore suggests that Oedipus' dreadful prophesied fate will not come true.
