Is the Series 9 Apple Watch compatible with the iPhone XR?

The XR is listed in chronological order before the XS, but was actually released after the iPhone XS.…which is confusing in determining its compatibility.

Absolutely, the Apple Watch Series 9 is compatible with the iPhone XR. Despite the order in which they were released, the XR fits within the compatibility range for the Series 9. You're good to pair them up!
