As far as I know, every Android phone has a stock recovery. Where is this recovery usually stored? On a separate partition in internal storage(usually an eMMC memory chip)?

4It's exactly as you say: A special partition only storing the recovery is used. It's about 5-10 mb large and doesn't interfere with the boot procedure. – GiantTree Jul 20 '15 at 15:27

1A good starting point on that is our partition tag-wiki – which also mentions a good article on this topic: Android Partitions Explained: boot, system, recovery, data, cache & misc. Also see on our site: Android Folder Hierarchy – Izzy Jul 20 '15 at 16:30
