Yes, in general, the recording only records aircraft-specific properties, such as position, velocities, orientation, animations etc.
Of course, since this flight has been analised in that much detail, all the info is there for anyone to go ahead and make a flight recording or take these screenshots and provide them here so they be included in the document.
You could probably further simplify recreating the flight by using the route manager and adding corresponding waypoints to it - the RM also supports custom waypoints using various "offset" combinations. Also, it does support saving and loading flight plans.
Note that this does not affect the replay/flight recorder idea - it's just about more easily finding the right place to record the flight.

PS: A wiki article related to your tutorial, does sound like a good idea!
