Nope.

So once they left their things somewhere in the leg and checked in, their things are officially "lost"? :o
Thanks, peach!

I think in that case they are unable to check in and must go back to get their stuff

I'm wondering if the following case could be possible:
Team A allies with Team B. In one leg Team A finishes the final task in advance and tells Team B where the pitstop is. Team B asks a passenger (maybe a TAR fan) nearby to deliver team members' luggages to the pitstop (by taxi, for example) in order to lessen the weight. Once Team B finishes the final task, the team runs to the pitstop without burden.
If it is acceptable, another question is that if the final clue asks teams to WALK to the pitstop, is the abovementioned tactic against the rule?

Reminds me of TAR 16 where Steve and Allie forgot to bring their backpacks after the detour on Seychelles, and the next leg, they were begging for some clothes to Louie & Michael, implying that they couldn't go back to the detour spot and get it back after the leg ended

They have to have a passport to check in. So that's true for that.
Anything else is optional. You can go back or leave it, usually your choice BEFORE you check in. Remember when Mark (newly paired with Mallory) left his backpack? Mallory said leave it, he refused, led directly to their early elim.
Once you check in, that's it.

Season 1 had teams traveling out of Tunis to Rome and they were alerted of a Rome-Fiumicino airport worker strike that scattered teams to different airports before converging back again.

As other have written, Steve & Allie realized they had left their bags but decided to press on without them.
Once they got eliminated they were reunited wit their bags. It turned out that production had collected them.
But I do not think future racers should assume that this will always happen.
