Yes, they are.
They are replacement parts, not accessories.

the reason I ask is we were getting work done on the 9 and the technician said that he thought "the vehicle was missing a splash shield" but when they went to look up the part number for it they couldn't find it. We bought the car from Carmax and was quite surprised that with a 150 point inspection that this was not found. After calling the Mazda dealership back, the service manager said they called MazdaUSA and that there are no splash shields and the service manager said "I guess my technician was mistaken". I am quite confused. Could you possible take a picture under your carriage and post a picture please so I can compare with ours?

Some portion of the rear wheel well is not shielded. Yes, it seems like some shield is missing there.
I have no explanation for it.

they said we are missing a front splash shield

The front wheel well is completely shielded. If yours is not, they are right.
For the rear, only a small portion on the lower side is not. That is normal.
