What happens if the app that provides that intent isn't installed on the user's phone? Are they prompted to install it?

No. The idea behind intents is that the calling app doesn't know (or care) who handles the action. You just fire off a message that says "Hey, someone handle this", and the OS takes care of the rest. You would need to prompt the user to install an app to handle the intent if they don't have one already.
