eg. https://therokuchannel.roku.com/details/d1680b24877a5e21a43ab48fa9fbbbb1/punkd-s1-e7-model-misbehavior-with-tyra-banks did not "air" on quibi.
does this get added to the back end of season 1 or is this a new season even if roku doesn't list it as such?

Well, unreleased episodes usually goes in the specials. I'm missing some critical info, but from what I could piece together:

Wasn't even aware of all that history. I've watched a few with the initial Quibi trial and just noticed that TVDB got more. Those press releases are all a bit funky. There are also some calling a "season 2" order and even claiming it premiering August 2020 but there is nothing on the wayback machine https://web.archive.org/web/20201207031146/https://quibi.com/shows/punkd-529/.
So with the "original" S1 listing from Quibi that means everything Roku adds to S1 is unaired/specials until they add an actual season 2 then.

The second season was released today on Roku and it features 10 "all-new" episodes but 3 of them (Liza Khoshy, Adam Devine, Lil Nas X) are listed in Season 1 on TMDb and in the show's archived Quibi page (thanks @sp1ti!).
I found this T-Mobile / Quibi partnership press release and it mentions the following:
It's a different show and a different way to get bonus episodes but mentioning that it's "early access to three bonus episodes" and that "customers [can] get started with six episodes" seems to imply everyone got 3 episodes to start and the users that signed up early got the same 3 + access to the next 3. That might've been the case for this show, too.
If the three bonus episodes were indeed just regular episodes, it's likely the Machine Gun Kelly, DaBaby, and Tyra Banks episodes were unreleased until Roku acquired Quibi and released them as a part of the first season, since the episodes featuring Liza Khoshy, Adam Devine, Lil Nas X were not on Roku until today.

The only thing I can tell you is that the website did reflect what was in the app and was up to date (I subbed their web thumbnails to TVDB for the "50 states of fright" show). The Adam Devine I can also confirm to being in the app as it was one of the few I watched (most episodes were POC actors/rappers so Machine Gun Kelly would also have stood out). Early access were probably the same ones they had up for reviewers https://collider.com/punkd-review-quibi/?
I'd say with the lack of "history" the missing ones are specials?
