Well, yes to a degree, but you still have to have some hands that you call turn and fold river. If villain has fired two barrels, the odds of a third barrel will roughly be 50%, so you can also win the hand by calling the turn and checking back those times villain checks.
Also, why would you be raising your sets or two pairs here? The only thing you will achieve is folding out villain's bluffs and some overpairs which have very little equity vs those hands. And with the low river SPR, it does mean that even if villain does check it back, you can easily gii.
Maybe 99 is a call ott or not, and I'm sure you could argue either way and not be too badly wrong, but if you make decisions based on some of the arguments you make ("easy to lose vs QQ+" or "he can turn his As or Ac into a bluff"), you will be making wrong decisions. A good way to look over your decisions in situations such as these, where you have a bluff catcher, is to look at it through MDF. This will give you a rough, but fairly decent, idea of what hands you should be folding.
