I believe (and I wouldn't say I'm an expert) that yes, fuel flow is recorded in FDR. Or to be more specific, I think it is a required parameter - the 777 FDR may record other additional parameters as well, I don't know what they would be.
AAIB will also have the QAR in this case, which will probably record even more data.
Also relevant might be, how, and at what point in the line, the fuel flow is measured - I don't know that on the 777. The AIIB state that cavitation damage
might indicate excessive aeration of fuel, in which case your fuel flow reading
might be really fuel+air - which probably isn't a lot of help.
