I don’t think category moderators will appear in the group’s _Permissions_ page. You should create a test account or use the _Impersonate_ feature to check whether they can use these management tools on posts to verify if the settings have been successfully applied.  
For example, here I created a group named _Test_ and granted moderation permissions for a category. Even though there are no records on the _Permissions_ page, when they click the `show more` button at the bottom right corner of a topic, they can normally see the `delete topic` and `post admin actions` options.

Settings in _Security_ are what will be recorded here.
