It depends, if the short didn’t damage the flex cable itself you can get away by just replacing the earpiece. If you notice after replacing the earpiece speaker that the earpiece speaker still isn’t working you’ll have to replace the flex cable.
You can re-use the tape that came with it or use something like Kapton tape to isolate the connections like described in the repair guide. Any short circuit can be fixed :-)
