From what I understand, it is possible to connect an Apple iPad Air or iPad Pro to a USB-C monitor by connecting it to the USP-C port on the iPad. (I hope I am correct in saying this)
The Apple iPad 2020 has only a lightning connector. Is it possible to connect to a USB-C monitor by using a USB-C to Lightning Cable or adaptor?
No, this is not possible.
Direct to video connection to the monitor requires support for HDMI Alternate Mode over USB-C. This video standard is not supported by iPad devices that feature Lightning port connections to external devices.
If you wish to connect your iPad to a monitor, your choices are a wired connection using standard HDMI or VGA adapter and appropriate cable - or wirelessly via AirPlay.

You are correct that the iOS devices using USB-C chips need no adapters for video out to most USB-C displays. The lightning based hardware require specific adapters like the HDMI or VGA ones Apple sells.
I’ve never seen an adapter that fits your requirement.
Can an iPad 2020 be connected to a USB-C monitor?
