You're touching (creating, or changing the timestamp) of the
".autorelabel" file in the root (signified by the / slash) of the
filesystem.  It's a (hidden) file that the system will look for at
bootup, and then do relabelling if it finds it.

So that command should be:  touch /.autorelabel

It mightn't be a good idea to try and restore the entire directory tree,
the auto-relabelling probably omits some paths, or some things simply
aren't yet set up at the time it does its trick.
