You say that a pawn ahead is always a win with only some exceptions. So is a rook. So set values of these the same - does not work to predict generic rook against pawn end-games.

90 % with respect to what: all games, those that GMs, newbies, or a certain computer program play?

| it might still be that black has 'the better chances' in this position?

The traditional piece value system does not refer to a statement like: 'this material advantage leads to a win in 90 % of the cases'.
