Does an ionized molecule not have hydrogen?

    It can. Ionized simply means the molecule has a net charge, either positive or negative.

    For example, HCO3^- is an anion, but still has an H atom.

    Not necessarily. Bicarbonate ion is ionised but still has a hydrogen atom connected (HCO3^-), as do bisulfite (HSO4^-), dihydrogen and monohydrogen phosphate (H2PO4^- and HPO4^-) to name a few examples. Acetate is also ionised (the ionised form of acetic acid) but it contains 3 (non-acidic) hydrogen ions (CH3COO^-).
