Automatic restore, are apps lost??

[melrose7]

All of a sudden my iPad2 asked for a restore and I wasn't able to back it up first. I had some new apps on there that I had gotten with codes to write online reviews for. I can't see them on the ipad while it is restoring. Are they gone since I didn't sync it up before it needed to be restored? I know you can rebuy an app without having to pay for it again (or so I have heard) but since I didn't pay for these I redeemed with a code, can I still get them back. I do have my iPad sync via icloud wirelessly.

Yes, the codes still count as paying for them.
