I really love this piece but I can't find it anywhere. Aparrently it was originally published as a prelude. There's a recording at the very bottom of this page.

You mean the first of Three Pieces, TNii/19 (coupled with Oriental Sketch and Fragments). It's suprising that it's not here, as the other two are (and looking, I see it does indeed have that tempo marking)
(Incidently, there's two other unpublished d minor piece pieces --Song Without Words in d, TNii/11, which also isn't here, and a canon, which IS here:

If they're posthumously published, wouldn't they hit the 1923 barrier to public domain?

That depends upon where they were published. As Rachmaninoff was a US citizen at his death in 1943, all of the items first published in the USSR without a notice are free in the USA - US citizens being ineligible for "restoration" under GATT/TRIPs. If Boosey & Hawkes managed to issue something first, then it would indeed be protected in the USA (and the EU). Only those items first published after 1960 would be potentially protected in Canada.
