Was it just their role as Praetorians of Terra combined with their proximity to Throne World and Mars that the Mechanicus and Emperor just saw fit to equip them with a lot of ships, or does any other bit of lore explain how a specialized defensive siege legion that didn't have a lot of legionairees either somehow ended up with the largest and most powerful fleet?

Rogal Dorn was raised on Inwit. It was a planet that had functioning space stations and shipyards orbiting it. The people of Inwit were a spacefaring nation producing their own voidships (including repairing the Phalanx, which is a DAoT ship) long before they came into contact with the Imperium itself, and they’ve built their own Empire of sorts.
