Do they have the little pins in them that I've read about in the OEM ones that dig grooves into the rotors and start to squeel cause of it?

No pins. In any type of pad I've ever seen. Have done thousands of brake jobs.
May pads use "scraper" or "squealer" clips that drag on the rotor before the pad is completely worn out.
The RS6 does not use them (either). There are wear sensors that cause the brake pad warning light to illuminate on the dash cluster.
Grooves are typically caused by debris and low end brake pads, and/or less than ideal installation. The front calipers use a special shim kit that should be replaced. It helps the pads better retract. I have sold many of them over the years.
