I was just wondering how people know where exactly to cut stuff... because in video tutorials I see people cutting places where they dont even use to do anything with. Is it just to smooth out and add detail?

Yeah...Thats exactly why they cut. If you have a box, with 6 faces, and smooth it, it will almost become round. But if you cut it at the top and bottom, It will become more like a chamferbox...Try it out yourself...

i don't know it and i don't think about it, i'm just doing it... thats the point don't make modelling to a science, its an art you have to do it / feel it don't start thinking about it. You'll see that your models are getting better in time and with practice, not with knowledge about edgeloops and where to cut...
