I don't think GIMP does know anything about SVG files. It probably is
just using gtk-pixbuf to read images as pixbuf's. Your system
probably has librsvg installed, which is a gtk-pixbuf plugin that
reads SVG files as images in their default size.
There are also other plugins like libavif (to read AVIF files) and
webp-pixbuf-loader (to read WEBP files). Unlike the librsvg plugin
these can also write out files to their respective formats.
