So I have an iPhone with the IMDB app installed. When I search for a movie through the safari web browser and click a link for an IMDB page how does the phone know “hey I see IMDB is installed, instead of opening this page in the safari browser I’ll open it through the installed app”.

Besides the manifest as other commenters explained. Each app also gets a special link (web address). These don’t work online but if your phone sees it, it will try to open the app. This is how some services you can use online, and then press a button that says: “go to app” and it gets you there.
