Short answer:
They're never implicitly saved to PDF. They're still implicitly saved
internally as usual, with one exception, in which case you'll be warned.

Long answer:
Annotations are never implicitly saved to PDF. In other words, the files you
open are never automatically modified. You're have to explicitly press either
"Save As" or "Export As -> Document Archive" in order to export them.
We still autosave annotations internally as usual, unless the PDF document
contains existing embedded annotations and it's not encrypted. In this case,
you'll be shown a warning ("Your annotation changes will not be saved
automatically. Use File -> Save As... or your changes will be lost once the
document is closed") and a "Do you want to save your annotation changes or
discard them?" prompt on document close.

No. You always have to go through Save As to get an annotated PDF.
