Does all the regenerated power go back into the battery

Answer

Unfortunately not. Some of the energy is lost in heat inside the leads and the controller. The amount of regenerated energy also depend on the switching ratio on the PWM stage. In the extreme case when PWM is at 0, the motor is essentially shorted and all the power is dissipated in the motor windings, wires and transistors.
