You know... I really don't think Touya would have Maria's diary. He'd have to have gotten it from the island somehow. Then he'd have to keep it, not remembering what it is, only to have his memories triggered not by the mysterious diary, but by hearing of some so-called "Rokkenjima Incident" on the Internet. Or if Maria left it at home, he would have had somehow to obtain it somehow from Eva or something, years after the incident.

This doesn't preclude that Battler saw the diary on Rokkenjima or just learned this from direct interaction with Maria. But, Rokkenjima was the first time Battler met Maria since she was 3. It's pretty hard to imagine he learned much about her at all in those 2 days. Add amnesia into the mix, and Touya knows next to nothing about Maria that he didn't learn through Yasu's fictions.
