Is location on photos taken by camera recorded by default on android mobile devices?

No.
But if you use Google photos it will
Isn't the camera responsible for geotagging and then the media with geotag information is stored in device's storage and only then can we choose to upload our media to cloud (Google photos)? So for Google photos to know the location the geotagging has to be enabled in camera in the first place, right?
