Yes, with tooltip on standard charts, it cannot be exported in pdf. But if you want export to pdf, it will be better use paginated (ssrs) reports.
In Power BI, while you cannot directly add comments within the chart itself

Also you ca use thirdparty visuals like Inforiver for commenting in Power BI
