Yes, the info is still stored in the temporal database, unless you call
t.support with -m option.

If you think that GRASS is a good archiving place then yes. But be aware
that a large temporal database with lots of maps with slow down the
temporal database access. If you want to store >10.000 maps, then you
should use postgresql as temporal database backend.
