What is a drive shaft? What does it do? (Not talking about half shafts on FWD cars)

the drive shaft connects the transmission to the rear differential at the rear axle on rear wheel drive/ front engine cars (most trucks, mustangs, etc. )

on a RWD car, the driveshaft connects the tranny to the rear differential.

not necessarily. an NSX is rear-wheel-drive, but does it have a driveshaft?

Well Im down for just about any rear wheel drive car that lacks a driveshaft then...

Not to be a picky-***, but rear engine is what a porche is-- the engine sits BEHIND the rear axle line. NSX is mid engine, where the motor sits in front of the rear axle, but behind the driver.
