Your iPad Pro M4 does have Dynamic Volume controls, however you won't find any controls for this feature in iPad settings.
Dynamic volume controls were introduced with release of iPadOS 15.4 onwards. The “logic” behind dynamic volume controls is such that regardless of the screen orientation, the relative function remains constant - as follows:
For reasons known only to Apple, the ability to disable this feature from iPad settings is not available for any new models of iPad and iPad Pro that have since been launched - these models including current models of iPad Pro M4, iPad Air M3, iPad mini (A17 Pro) and iPad (A16).
This is documented within this recently updated Apple Support document:
