The Explorer's Guide to Wildemount is an official Wizards of the Coast product, designed and produced by Wotsee with the assistance of the Critical Role team. Call of the Netherdeep is the same - it's a Wotsee book produced in collaboration with Critical Role, but principally headed up by Wizards' own internal teams.
The Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn is not produced by Wotsee. They had no hand in its design, their team had nothing to do with the production of the book. TDCSR was developed entirely by Darrington Press and principally headed up by the Critical Role team.
TDCSR (sometimes referred to as 'TLDR' with varying degrees of affection) is no more official a book than Odyssy of the Dragonlords, Kingdoms and Warfare, Grim Hollow, or any other popular third-party supplement. EGtW and CotND, on the other hand, are no more "third-party" products than Curse of Strahd or the Player's Handbook is. Yes, Wizards obtasined permission to use Critical Role's IP for those books and set them in the realm of Exandria, but they're still official products by the official company.
The difference feels arbitrary and weird to some folks, but only if one doesn't grok how the third-party market for D&D 5e works. If Wotsee writes the book? it's an official product and DDB (mostly, sometimes) supports it. If Wotsee didn't write the book? Third-party supplement, DDB won't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
No, the Taldorei Reborn campaign guide is a 3rd party product and therefore will not be hosted on D&D Beyond.
lol so is the 1 book already on DnD Beyond and the 2nd that's coming in the future...
The Tal'Dorei Reborn book is a revisit of Critical Role's Tal'Dorei setting, actually - the book you're referring to is not the first. The Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting was published by Green Ronin in 2017, back when the show was still on Geek & Sundry, and is consequently not on DDB either..

Yurei & Pangurjan pretty much explained this, but the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount and Call of the Netherdeep are official WotC products, Taldorei Reborn is not. D&D Beyond doesn't host 3rd party products.

Lightning Strike - A rebranded Fire Bolt for Wizards & Sorcerers.

Sword Dancer - A Cleric subclass specifically for the Drow goddess Eilistraee.

Stares at the planeshift books, for that exact reason
lol
Yeah "but but Planeshift" is brought up by a lot who don't understand the Planeshift's products production in comparison to "official Dungeons and Dragons" productions. Yes, Planeshift is developed and distributed by WotC, but is not managed through the WotC's Dungeons and Dragons product development cycle. There's literally less work put into them, particularly in terms of playtest. That's why all Planeshift products have the disclaimer you may have seen in your staring that reads
The game mechanics in this supplement are usable in your D&D campaign but are not fully tempered by playtests and design iterations. For these reasons, material in this supplement is not legal in D&D Organized Play events.
Given that lack of full product development, WotC's D&D design studio never has viewed planeshift as "official D&D" and thus is not supported on D&D Beyond.

Jander Sunstar is the thinking person's Drizzt, fight me.
Am I allowed to enter tal'dorei reborn content as "Homebrew" for my campaign if I own the physical book? Or does it get flagged and removed or something.

You can homebrew things in Tal'Dorei Reborn for your own personal use (as have many, many, many other players). You cannot publish those things however, nor claim them as your own invention. Even if you're moderately certain the TDCSR cribbed one of your own pieces of homebrew and stuffed it in the book. But in short: yes, you can brew up TLDR stuff for your own campaign. Just keep it private and you're 100% good to go.

Just a mention that the bolded part means nothing at all to DDB, because 1) How would you prove it? 2) That's not how licensing works. But as Yurei said, as long as you don't try to go public with it, you can create homebrew of pretty much anything & everything on DDB. I've got piles of stuff that is just slightly tweaked versions of official material, never heard a peep about it from DDB.
85-90% of my homebrew collection is stuff I'm porting in from 3rd party presses for use in my campaigns. As long as you don't publish for community use outside your campaign, you're using the homebrew tools correctly.
