No definite answer to this with sources, but for me it always got cleared. At least I've never seen an uninstalled app appear in the share menu. Still: if the dev e.g. lets the app create stuff on first app start outside of the apps dedicated storage (i.e. /data/data/com.foobar/* resp. the corresponding /sdcard/Android/*), and doesn't take care for that, "corpses" might remain. That part is a question of "clean coding". That's what I've meant by "As long as developers stick to these rules" (see last paragraph of my answer).
