Upon examining the gazebo_ros pack I do not find any .world files

Gazebo 9 is not a ROS package, but a system dependency (ie: independent of ROS).

gazebo_ros is not the package which "provides" or "contains" Gazebo, but (from here):

Provides ROS plugins that offer message and service publishers for interfacing with Gazebo through ROS.

So it's directory not containing those .world files is expected and normal.

Many .world files are distribute as part of the gazebo9-common debian package. You can find them in /usr/share/gazebo-9/worlds, including empty.world.
