How can you tell which kernel version a distro has?

It depends on the date that the .iso file was created.

According to Linux Mint version history, Mint 19.2 with a release date of August 02 2019 is based on Ubuntu 18.04.

The Ubuntu 18.04.3 .iso at PNNL Mirror as of 05-Aug-2019 has the 5.0 kernel.

ubuntu-18.04.3-desktop-amd64.manifest says the kernel is linux-image-5.0.0-23-generic.

If the August 02 2019 Mint .iso is based on the same Ubuntu 18.04.3 as the PNNL 05-Aug-2019 .iso, it should have the 5.0 kernel.
