It most likely is on the car fax reports as most insurance work is reported and recorded via the DMV, in fact most maintenance when done at dealers is place there as well. Not to worry though broken windows won't diminish the value, and the hit and run will be reported on the car fax that may diminish the value of the camry depends on the damage.

Someone backed up on my car a while ago, only a bit damaged on the front fender, call the cops and I checked my carfax the other day and it shows that the car has been in an accident. do i need a police report for this?
You don't have to, but there is not much you can do other than report it without a license plate of the guy that did it. If you go to your insurance and report the hit and run you could possibly do a diminished value claim and be paid the value lost of this incident.
