Actually, no. If you're going stock to stock, it should NOT wipe data.
Does flashing stock rom delete everything?
Based on my experience with the original Droid, flashing a new rom usually calls for wiping system, cache, data, boot, and dalvik. Internal memory data is deleted, but external microsd storage is not cleared.
Do I need to wipe data before flashing rom?
Yes. Do not clear internal storage however.
