Yes, you have to go to the store or find someone tech savy though. Also because it got wet the pictures may or may not be corrupted.

Yes there's a chance data on the phone may have suevived. Take it to someone who knows a lot about electronics he should be able to get the pictures

If it could still connect to & be detected by a computer, yea.

If the phone will still turn on and can connect to the computer, then yes you can recover them. However, if the phone is completely dead, be prepared to spend a few thousand USD in data recovery if you absolutely must have the pictures.

Makes sense to have a backup doesn't it?

If it works yes, otherwise rely on backup otherwise they are gone.
