Can anyone explain to me how do you determine which side of the transformer is the high impedance winding side. Is it always the secondary side and the low impedance winding is the primary side?

Not all transformers are power transformers, and I've never heard of insertion loss with respect to power transformers. Insertion loss is frequency dependent. Inductors and transformers have an upper limit on the frequency where they still behave like inductors and transformers. So which kind of transformers are we talking about, and what is the application in which you are interested?
I agree with you papbravo..
I have in my hand a high frequency ferrite toroid with ONE turn for the primary and ONE turn for the secondary. Which side is high impedance?
At 5MHz it's the same.

Presumably a 1:1 ratio transformer will have identical resistance/impedance windings?, so it makes very little difference which is which - except there may be specific reasons to use one as the primary for safety reasons?.
