Happened to me every now and then, never knew what I should do so just kept rolling. Anyone knows if you're responsible for any damage, or what to tell the driver if they blame you?

This has happened to me as well, I also kept rolling.
IMO, stone chips on a car are part of life. If you did stop and examine the car, it's not certain that you'd be able to identify a chip that was from the stone ejected by your tyre, most cars more than a few weeks old will have some minor marks on them.

Calling myself out, felt my back wheel roll over a stone and ping it out to the side, heard it hit a parked car, didn't stop to look if there was any damage - the sound tells me there must have been. At the time I told myself that anyone other than a cyclist wouldn't even have known it had happened and so wouldn't have stopped, probably not a very good excuse is it?
