Background
Let’s talk about a scenario assuming that we want Matching Rules to works with different Record Type (Account, Partner) for the Account Object.
Consideration
Understanding matching rules, they will only match up to 100 records. Therefore we will be very precise with the condition within the matching rules.
Text Field Approach <- Solution
Now for the solution, we can create a text field in the object, and set the default value to $RecordType.Name
Also, remember to set this as read-only for everyone.

Why not formula field
Formula Field is evaluated on demand, therefore this is not going to work here.
