I know it requires strength to equip. Is strength also a thaco or damage modifier for it?

    Your basic non-magical composite long bow gives you a Damage: +2 that your regular does not. I would guess that would be your "strength" coming into play for using it.

    I think there is also a +1 thaco.

    All non-magical longbow types have that regardless of strength requirement.

    Bows don't benefit from scaling damage modifier from strength the way melee weapons do, unless it is very specific type of launcher. If that's what you're asking. It mostly comes from arrows.
