The equivalent to a Windows 8 partition on ChromeOS is cloud storage like Google Drive, Dropbox or Skydrive. This cloud storage is not being wiped when you switch to or from developer mode.
The local storage is just a temporary storage for downloads and caching.
Oh, and entering developer mode on my Pixel was as easy as holding 3 keys down at the same time.
