This is what they look like:
So yes, the tire shop obviously transferred them when you changed rims because you never had the warning light go off.

I guess what I'm asking is do both sets of rims/tires have the TPMS built in, or is it something that would/should be transferred when I swap setups? Thanks again for all the help!

Your winter set up doesn't have TPMS sensors, so yeah, that's why you're getting the warning light. If you have 2 sets of rims for winter/summer, each set should have their own set of TPMS sensors.
