For good examples of documentary photography, look at National Geographic or Life magazines and books. The camera is not as important a factor as the photographer.

Although not all photography is meant to be documentary, all photography can be perceived as documentary

No... most possibly but you can create a photograph that is not a documentary... it can be pure art.

All photos are documentary. For legal purposes they must be able to verify time, date, and location.

If some photos are artistic, are they necessarily documentary?

In the large sense of the word, Yes, since you are documenting what is in front of the camera.
