I'm now filing for tax years 2018 - 2021. I had refund for the year
2018. Obviously, I haven't gotten it. Do I still list it in the 2019 tax filing or do I file it in the year I actually get it?

You never report a federal tax refund on your federal tax return. If you get a state refund for 2018, you might have to report part or all of it as income on your federal tax return for the year that you receive the state refund, but only if you claimed an itemized deduction for state income tax on your 2018 federal tax return.
In order to get a refund for 2018 you have to file the return by tomorrow, April 15, 2022. After that it's too late to get a refund for 2018.

Thank you. I just put it in the mail.
