Default Transmission Fluid

So, I recently purchased a 2005 XC90. It has a rebuilt volvo transmission with about 50k that was put in about 2 months ago. After about a week I had to get a transmission line o ring replaced, and they topped off my transmission fluid after replacing. They put in Dexron III. Is this ok to have put in? Ive had people saying it needs to be full synthetic. Is the dexron considered to be synthetic or at least compatible? Getting alot of mixed answers and want to know for sure.
Thanks!!

Dexron III is incorrect. You need fluid that is JWS3309 compatible.

After reading few literatures and cross checking fluids, I bought Mobil 3309 which has a fair price compared to Volvo OEM
