Put moss killer on and raked the lawn. It has left quite a few
straw/dead grass patches. Will this grass grow back or will I need to
do something else with them?

Carefully dig out the area that's bare. Mix what you have dug out with
some
sharp sand 50-50 mix
Add a good quality of quality seed and put it back into the hole. Any
left
over will do for sowing in other bare areas.
Water well, don't walk on it until the new shoots are well established.

Not much point burying grass seed like that. Yes, certainly make a nice
tilth in the bare patches if they're big enough; but then just lightly
rake in the seed in the normal way.

Who mentioned burying?

If you just rake it over ad sprinkle in the seed all you'll achieve is an
easier feeding table for the local birds.
