IMO it uses Xorg by default (they made a mistake by switching to Wayland as default since some xtool don't work in Wayland). But you can switch using gear icon on login screen and choosing "Ubuntu on Wayland". You can always check by runningecho $XDG_SESSION_TYPE.

It uses X.Org. 18.10 release notes don't mention it, but 18.04 mentions that they switched from Wayland to X.Org:
X is the default display server. Wayland is provided as a Technical Preview and is expected to be the default display server in 20.04 LTS

This:
Wayland fans will be saddened but unsurprised to learn that Ubuntu
has, sensibly, stuck with X this time around, although you can switch
if you really want to. However, for most users, what comes out of the
box works more than adequately.
