They do contain old data, but it's very old. For example, my saved variables file for BagBrother (the helper addon that stores bag/bank contents for Bagnon) was last updated December 1st (yesterday, which is when I last logged into the game), but its corresponding .bak file hasn't been updated since October 10th, even though obviously the data has changed many times between then and now.

If something happened to corrupt that Lua file, I'd be better off just starting from scratch, rather than restoring to a 2-month-old backup whose data is no longer remotely correct.
