Yes, to answer the concrete question: the record lasts as long as the TTL
says, regardless of whether it's deleted.

Clients choose the TTL of each record.

For tombstones, it's probably a good idea that they choose a very large TTL.

Discussion of TTL is in

https://mozilla-services.readthedocs.io/en/latest/storage/apis-1.5.html

which covers the BSO/envelope fields; objectformats.html covers only
payloads.
