I just wonder whether this sentence:
It is on you.
can ever mean this one:
It is because of you.
This was spoken Tony Stark in the 2012 film, The Avengers.
Is “It’s all on you” a common and natural saying in English-speaking countries?

It generally means "it is your responsibility." By responsibility it means that the blame or the victory would belong to you - sometimes it is said when someone is taking a risk or doing something that could go badly. The person saying it means "it is your choice, but don't blame me if it fails." Particularly in superhero movies where people are doing dangerous things all the time.
