If they do, what kind of information/data is it? Just the audio of the pilot communicating with the ground, or do modern warplanes have functionality that keeps record of gps location and timestamp of dropped bombs?

Attack helicopter pilot (and JTAC-I) here: yes, the information is recorded, but not automatically. The typical information is ordnance type, location, time of strike, and assessment of effects. Depending on the particulars of the mission, this information will be recorded by the aircrew and/or terminal controller and then will get reported via their respective intelligence sections.
