Is this = Tom didn't have to rub his nose in it.

The Danish idiom is: Tom didn't have to pour salt into the wound.

> Is this = Tom didn't have to rub his nose in it.

Perhaps more likely, "my nose."

I'm not sure I'd use these 2 English idioms interchangeably, but they are very similar in meaning.
