As per the article Add your Mac to Find My - Apple Support

When you turn on Find My Mac, the ability to locate, lock, or erase it is turned on automatically. Depending on the model of your Mac, Activation Lock is also turned on automatically to prevent anyone else from activating and using your Mac, even if it’s completely erased.

If you erase but then find your device, you can restore the information on it with an existing backup. See the Apple Support articles Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backupRestore your Mac from a backup,
