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.
