How does iOS handle file creation dates and app attributions during iCloud data recovery?

Can an older Snapchat image acquire a 22 September 2026 timestamp and the Saved from Snapchat attribution banner strictly through an iCloud sync or re-indexing issue? Or is it only possible if the photo was actively saved or exported from Snapchat on that date? I am trying to figure out how iOS handles file creation dates versus database tracking for app attributions during iCloud data recovery. Any technical insights would be helpful.
