The standard says "as short as possible without being indented". That means they are not susposed to have any tail. So yes, it's normal and correct to be so short.
They are docked between 1 and 3 days old. So he should have been docked before you got him.

Now, He is still itty bitty and learning how to get around, he's spent most of his life with his breeder in a small 4' by 4' or so puppy pen, so he is just learning to run, scratch, jump and romp (it's so cute). But when he sits (on our hardwood floor, or our cement porch, and he props up to a sitting position, his butt scoots backward... and he does it every time he sits... is it just a traction problem? Or is he trying to itch his rear? he doesn't drag it like I've had other dogs do, but does anyone elses pup do this?

It's just the way some puppies sit. Not a corgi thing, just something that some puppies do.
