If you click Terminate, I believe Amazon deletes the default EBS drive generated when you started the instance as well as any instance storage.

Yeah, if you terminate rather than stop the instance then everything that was created as part of the instance will be destroyed by default although you can choose to not kill attached EBS drives. Any EBS drives that were attached after instance creation will be left untouched by default after instance termination.
