If your device is disabled or you don’t know the screen lock passcode, then the only thing you can do is erase the device. Without a backup already in place, yes, you will lose the data on the device. IOS is deliberately designed this way - without knowing the screen lock passcode, nobody can access a device’s contents. All they can do is erase the device to reset the passcode.
