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?
