I am going to be using lbu to create my apkovl on a custom partition. How does Alpine know where this is to make sure these changes are committed so they are preserved on next boot?

I setup alpine in data mode, I pointed /var to my partition, now how do I save and have alpine load these changes upon boot?

According to alpine init, you can set the ovl_dev as boot option

and if not set we look at usb cdrom and floppy:

Hope this helps.
