If you change the page order and remove pages, then yes, the annotations are deleted, as otherwise it would cause a conflict, as the page numbers are not relative to the PDF, they are relative to the page order, and so if you deleted page 3, what was previously page 4 is now page 3 in the page order, for example, so the annotations that were on page 3 are deleted.
You can get your annotations back - just go to Settings->Backup and Restore->Restore Automatic Database Backup and revert the database back to the point before you made changes. However, this will undo any change you made since then, so make that decision carefully.
To persist annotations while removing pages, you have to embed them in the PDF itself first. You can do this in the annotations editor by tapping the three dots at the top right and then "Embed annotations". If you embed annotations, you can still edit those if you enable "Allow editing of embedded PDF annotations" in the annotation editor settings, but you will lose access to some functionality with those annotations, as the PDF specification does not support all of the same options that MobileSheets does, and text annotations are converted to images (to avoid corruption problems with the PDF library).
