The quest 2 does not have an inward facing camera pointing at your iris.

The quest 3 might have eye tracking and face tracking.

Here is their tech demo for full eye and face tracking for virtual avatars:

The comment I responded to just happened to be the one which made me wonder how far off the dystopian future was where mega corporations are scanning people's eyes, which is why I went and searched the internet for information and found that that future is actually very close. This made me a bit worried. Therefore I mentioned that piece of information here, hoping that it might reach someone in a position to change that future.
