When creating VDOMs on the FGT, the VDOMs itself are connected via intervdom links.
Think of it as logically separating the device into 2 virtual devices.
For communication between these VDOMs to work, you would need policies to allow the traffic from one side to the other like they were 2 separate devices.
The below link that was added by @funkylicious is very useful in understanding the components and understanding how it works.
