No, an image placed inside a post/page content don’t reference in your database other than inside your content only.
That’s why an image attached is better: you have full control over your images since they are in your server and referenced in your database. An attachment is a child post, once you attach an file to a post/page you can use get_children for retrieve file description, title etc.
