While I could not find any official word from Adobe on the subject a Google AI search did produce the following:

"Yes, QR codes generated in InDesign are built to align with the international ISO/IEC 18004 standard. They are designed to be high-fidelity, native vector graphic objects that encode exactly the data you input, ensuring reliability and universal scannability.
Key Compliance Details
Standard Adherence: The InDesign QR code feature produces codes that conform to the specifications detailed in ISO/IEC 18004, the standard that defines QR code symbology characteristics, data encoding methods, error correction rules, and dimensional traits."
