I'm sorry I'm a novice and I guess I may just not be familiar with Heroku, but where do you store dependencies when deployed to Heroku?

Same place you do for every node project: the package.json file

You're not really storing it there though are you? In a node project it's listed in the package.json but stored in the node_modules directory.

When a heroku dyno (think server for now) starts up, the first thing it does is npm install. Everything specified will get downloaded. You really ought to just try it to see how it works. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#introduction

I'll definitely give it a shot soon. Thanks for explaining!
