I’m currently eating some Spicy Dill Pickle flavored Almonds and I’ve always wondered how they can make a dust that is so accurate to whatever the flavor is supposed to be

There is a very good chance at least some of the flavor ingredients are natural, such as salt, sugar, and spices. Other tastes are less natural, such as concentrates which are created by extracting flavorful chemicals from a natural food, or from completely synthetic flavor compounds which are made in a lab using chemical processes. All these ingredients are mixed together in a very specific recipe, and formed into either a liquid or powder form. For powders, they are often based on maltodextrin, which is a a type of sugar that doesn’t taste sweet to humans, but makes a good base because it is a powder with a natural affinity to have other chemicals stick to it, and it doesn’t add much if any of its own taste to the mix.
