It takes me to page where we need to declare contributions for 2019, specifically question asks:

“Enter the amount xx’s parents contributed in 2019 to the following:”

we made no contributions to tax deferred accounts in 2019. Our employer did make a contribution, so technically, the way it’s worded, it would seem that the answer would be zero.

Is this correct?

Yes, as long as the contribution made by the employer wasn’t done through withholding of employee compensation.
