How chrome URLS work?

When I say, 

chrome://downloads

here my understanding is, chrome is a protocol talking to chrome engine and downloads is like a tag name for specific request to chrome engine.

Is that correct? How does it work(under the hood)?

It's just an internal protocol handler. Browser itself registers a handler to handle URLs that use that protocol. Browsers even let you register your own protocol handlers nowadays.
