Someone actually sent me a list from Equinix. If it says MLPE next to the IP address of the provider then I assume they are using the MLPE route server, and if not I assume you have to reach out to peer with them. Does that sound accurate?

Check out nl nog's the ring (they have a looking glass), routeviews or ripe's RIS project (bgplay) being an interface to the data). You should be able to find someone sending up bgp data to these projects that include the route servers on different IX points.

Is there a way to browse a route server at certain exchanges, and see who is and is not on the route server?

Google or Facebook are exactly who you would want to connect with and I'm
fairly sure they're on the route servers.
...and have open peering policies with pretty low requirements.

Gist:
Google (in NA and EU) asks for >100 mbps peak for bilateral peering, but are on route servers where present and are happy to dish out & pick up routes that way for anyone not pushing enough bits for direct sessions.
Facebook wants >50 mbps peak for bilateral peering, though I don't see them on route servers at e.g. the SIX.

Other than driving additional revenue by needing to buy ports to both or
possible regulatory concerns, I'm not sure why these companies spin up an exchange for every new fad that comes along. They all just boil down to an Ethernet fabric.
