Nearly positive that it will work just fine. The A1778 and A1784 supports the LTE bands of the following 3 carriers in Mexico: AT&T, Movistar, Telcel.
 
If you purchased from Apple, it ought to be unlocked. If you purchased from Tmobile.com or by calling Tmobile, it will be locked. The model number you obtained is correct.
 
Any of the iPhones will work on GSM. The ATT and TMO are pretty much GSM and the Verizon and Sprint are GMS + CDMA and have more sequences than the TMO and ATT phones. All of them are unlocked and can take a sim card if you pay full price.
