The Pixel 9 would use a 50MP Sony IMX858 ultrawide camera.

Did it turn out to be true?

Wrong. It did not turn out this way. It was reported on Jul 16, 2024 in Android Authority, and we could not tell who reported it first. That was 28 days before Google Pixel 9 was announced on Aug 13, 2024. Pixel 9 shipped with a 48MP ultrawide camera, so the claimed 50MP ultrawide specification is wrong regardless of the unpublished sensor-supplier detail.
