That's correct as far as I know.

Anko Itosu developed the Pinans to introduce Karate to the Okinawan Public school system as the Naihanchi katas were deemed too difficult for the beginners.

Pinan Sandan begins in Shorin-Ryu (matsubayashi) with a Right hand chest block in Cat stance.

Can someone tell me some of the stances used? We were doing stances last night and I kept slipping in and out of forward stance and back stance. I just want to know some that are used.
In Pinan Yodan (some schools teach this as the third Pinan), the stances used are: zenkutsu dachi, long neiko ashi dachi, short neiko ashi dachi, and one other stance I don't know the name of in the middle of the kata.

In Pinan Sandan (some schools teach this as the third Pinan as well), the stances used are: short neiko ashi dachi, zenkustu dachi, kiba dachi, and hachiji dachi (natural stance). Least, this is how it is in the Wado-Ryu system.

There is no Kiba-Dachi in any Wado katas.

The stance(s) in the middle are "gyakuzuki no tsuk-komi" (with the tenohira-uke) and "gyaku-nekoashi" with the tate uraken.

Yes, there is. There are several katas that has this stance in it. Maybe it is different in your organization/school or wherever you go, but for my school, we are taught kiba dachi in several of our katas.

Kiba dachi is a straddle stance where the toes of both feet point forward.

This stance does not appear in Wado Katas. Instead we use "Shiko-dachi" (sometime called Shimata-dachi) which is a straddle stance where the feet are turned outward.

Kiba dachi is horse stance, right? And zenkutsu dachi is front stance, correct?

Kiba dachi = Horse Riding Stance (Straddle stance etc), but with toes pointing forward.

Zenkutsu dachi = front stance - (Zen = all and Kutsu = foot/shoe)

You may do it differently, but that is how we do our kiba dachi, with both toes pointed foward. This stance is in our katas. I know because I practice it, and I do kiba dachi in some of my katas. Yes, bushido_man96, you are right.
