Hello. I apologise if this is a simple question but I am wondering whether the coordinates in MERRA-2 correspond to the centre of the 0.625° x 0.5°grid? Is there anywhere in the documentation where this is explicitly stated?

Yes, the coordinates in MERRA-2 correspond to the center of the 0.625° x 0.5°grid.
For additional information on MERRA-2's grid structure , please read MERRA-2 File
Specification Document (Chapter 4)
