I realized that the Mage (Basic Rules) stat block is considered a 9th-level spellcaster with the Fire Bolt cantrip. Does this mean that you would scale Fire Bolt's damage to 2d10, because the Mage is Level 9? Or does this stipulation of the spell apply only to player characters?

It definitely casts fire bolt as if it were a level 9 spellcaster, yes.
