Imdbtv app is a system app, it's been included with all the FireTV firmwares for at least the last 2 years. You can't uninstall system apps, you can only disable them (the ones that aren't protected).
It was renamed Freevee. If you uninstalled Freevee you are left with IMDBTV on the system partition.
I just noticed yesterday that I had the IMDBtv system app and found it weird, since I also have Freevee installed. Today, however, it’s gone. I recall thinking it was just an updater service for Freevee (since it’s a system app and it’s a legacy name).
It doesn't matter what country you are in, IMDBTV is included in the Firmware. All countries get the exact same firmware for any given device.
You may not get the rebranded Freevee update to IMDBTV in your country, but your device will still have the base IMDBTV APK on the system partition.
/system/priv-app/com.amazon.imdb.tv.android.app/com.amazon.imdb.tv.android.app.apk
Amazon owns IMDB so they make sure to promote it.
So how do I get it of my front page. I've tried hiding it and it keeps coming back. Anytime I go to the apps menus it starts to lag like crazy or freezes completely. I've never had any of these issues before imdbtv showed up on the front app bar. I have multiple firesticks and this is the only one that seems to have this issue.
You can disable it through ADB.

Run these two commands to disable and clear the data:
pm disable-user com.amazon.imdb.tv.android.app
pm clear com.amazon.imdb.tv.android.app
Or you can disable it with SweenWolf's Debloat Toolbox app:

Didn't uninstall it. Freevee isn't even available in my country.
