I'm wondering since I had catastrophic bearing failure and the oil cooler and lines were not flushed, that it had some affected the results.

The oil cooler and lines hold a descent amount of oil. Having changed my oil cooler twice. First to a Motorsport oil cooler and then changed back to stock, there is a lot of oil that can pool in the bottom of the cooler. If your engine did crap a bunch of metal into the oil system, then no doubt some of it made it to the the oil cooler. Personally I would have flushed the whole oil system before installing the new engine.
That being said, your report, as it states... should not be alarming for a brand new engine.
