As far as I understood, the already posted/federated content is stored by each instance in its database. The pictures/media might be gone but the text should be copied around depends on (de)federation policies

    Yes that's correct, new instances don't backfill old content. Only the servers online and federated at the time of posting will have the content.

    If you migrate to a new instance that wasn't online or federated earlier it won't have your old content
