Incorrect, often NFTs contain the hash of the content, where the content itself is pinned to IPFS.

That said, tokens that are not pinned to IPFS are fucking worthless, and it's hard to tell whether an NFT is pinned to IPFS unless you're skilled at navigating Ethereum contacts.

IPFS drops content that's not seeded. Unless you have a backup, you're not going to be able to recover a matching file.
