This list is only for China, but we can also expect global ROMs to roll out soon after the Chinese versions get the update. It said that the timing might change, and the forum post will be updated accordingly if there is any.
It will add more models in the future since the company is testing the Android Q update in older phones, and these might get it in Q1 2020 or later. We will also see the MIUI 11 announcement sometime in Q3 2019 since the company has been working on it since January, but it might take time before we see Android Q-based MIUI 11 update.
