Transit visa at Toronto Airport

Transit visa at Toronto Airport - Young ethnic man in earbuds listening to music while waiting for transport at contemporary subway station

I am an Indonesian citizen, and will be travelling to the US through Toronto Pearson airport (I'll be arriving at 3pm, Saturday and my layover will be about 3 hours).

According to https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/transit/without-visa/eligibility.html it seems that I'm eligible for the "Transit without a visa" program.

There are a list of airlines that participate in the program, and for my trip I booked the ticket through United Airlines website. It is written that my arriving flight to Toronto airport is operated by Air Canada Rouge (which participates in the program) while my departing flight from Toronto to the US is operated by Trans States Airlines DBA United Express.

So, am I eligible for this "Transit without a visa" thing or should I get a transit visa?

Thanks for the help ...
