Pardon my ignorance but if I upload pictures, does it include metadata AND is it possible to not collect it in iOS?

Yes, images, especially photos, usually contain EXIF data - GPS coordinates, device type, device name etc etc etc

I will read this thoroughly. Thank you!

Probably should have figured it out myself.

So there’s one setting which I had turned off previously in settings/privacy/location services/camera. Seems that toggles on/off geolocation. I find it hard to believe thats all the EXIF data though.
