Can anyone help with explaining how the image cache/swap system works? For example, how do I turn off the automatic placeholders if an image is not available?

Replace the placeholder image for a blank one or one of your choice.
root/image/placeholder.png

you upload an image - you have image sizes in settings - it creates the images for those sizes and places them in the cache folder
root/image/cache/

Thanks for the feedback.

I was hoping to get an insight on how the opencart code handles the swap, not where the copies of the images are kept :)

So for example, where in code does opencart make the decision to add in a placeholder image, if no image path is available?

Opencart 2.3.0.2
