are all wood insert stove adaptors supposed to have 3 pilot holes for screws or is it normal that some have only 2 holes? Wondering if 2 screws or rivets is sufficient or not.

No it should have 3 atleat. What type of liner are you using though? If it is light wall it should be attached with a clamp not screws.
No all liners or connector pipe must be fastened to the stove or insert mechanically.
This is the new install of heavy wall liner. I just left a message with the company to call me back on this so he can come back out to put in third screw. I can see where in the back there actually is a small pilot hole for a third one. In the event that he says it's not needed, is there code I can reference to indicate I know what I'm talking about? Thanks
Yes code requires atleast 3 fasteners per joint. I don't know the code off hand though.
