The INTEGRAL2 interface is set up to calculate an iterated integral where the integral over the second argument of the integrand function f is the inner integral. It does not matter what you call your variables, whether it be x, y, t, p, r, or whatever. The first argument is the outer integral, and the second argument is the inner integral. If your problem happens to be formulated so that the inner integral variable is called x and the outer integral variable is called y, but your integrand is already defined so that x is the first argument and y is the second, then you just do this:
integral2(@(y,x)f(x,y),ymin,ymax,xmin,xmax)
Your example isn't integrable, or I'd demonstrate.
