Inferred templates are templates not directly owned by a given implementation guide, but are referenced by it.

Example Scenario

Implementation Guide A directly contains Template A, B and C

Implementation Guide B directly contains Template D, E and F

Template D contains Template A from Implementation Guide A

For "Implementation Guide B", "Template A" is an "inferred template" because it is not directly owned by "Implementation Guide B" but it is referenced by a template/profile that is directly owned by "Implementation Guide B".
