If you erased your phone, finding your phone does not imply that your lost data is back. You won't get any of it off the phone itself – all of that data has been wiped out.


You didn't make any iCloud backups – but were you using iCloud for synchronization at all? If you were, you might be able to access synchronized data by synchronizing another device against your iCloud account, or logging into the iCloud Web interface ( https://www.icloud.com/ ). E.g., if you had iCloud Photos enabled, your phone may have been updating your iCloud Photos library despite your failure to make backups.
