You can upload WAV as part of a video, yes. or at least uncompressed audio, depending on what your video editor supports
As far as I know (and no one but You Tube engineers know exactly what You Tube does on any given day), if you upload mp3, they have to reconvert it - basically expand it back and then re-encode it to their sample rate (and to mono at the lower video qualities), so you're going to get double the damage if you upload mp3. You Tube tells you to upload mp3 somewhere, which I suspect is just because they think most people worry more about upload time than quality.
