I am trying to find out if this car has a cabin air filter and how to
replace it. The glove box does not look like there is an access door.
There is no mention of it in the owners manual, but the dealers parts
list shows it.

My 2009 Corolla owners manual tells how to do it. Have you checked your
owners manual? It should ber behind the glove box. The owners book tells how
to remove the glove box.

I thought Avalons (enlarged Camrys) started cabin filters only after
2000.

I don't know what year they started putting cabin filters in Avalons, but it
only takes a minute to check. Empty the glove box, squeeze the back corners
of the glove box so that the box flips all the way forward past the stops
and look to see if the cabin filter is back behind the glove box.

I think that a NG member "jor" had this issue come up on an Avalon. The
pre 2000 models(I think) have a bit of dis assembly under the dash to
remove the filter.

You can lower the glove box door as Ray suggested, and look either right
behind it or to the left of it, but it is normally above the blower fan
and motor. You are looking for an approximately 1" x 8" plastic cover,
usually black in color, that is snapped into place on both ends. Remove
the door and the filter is accessible.

Maybe you could "ping" jor as well. He even had pics if I remember
correctly.
