I'm not an expert in google's android but could it be that the uninstall process ends by firing up a web page ?

No there it doesn't, on Android you cant do anything after the actual uninstall as far as I am aware.

They were probably using the Opera browser to check for the OperaVPN uninstall [1]. This may actually be possible in the app itself as I believe the intent fires before the app is actually uninstalled giving you time to do one last action (fire up a uninstall questionnaire).
