I am building an IOT device that will be moving around outdoors and will not be able to have a secure wifi connection. I want to be able to know the location of this device at all times on my mobile phone, so I am using a PA1616D to be able to get GPS data.

I am able to access this GPS data, but i'm confused how I then get this data onto a backend server that I can then access with my mobile phone to get the GPS updates? Is this unit strictly a GPS module and it cannot access a server? Do I need to add another module such as the GM02S to then take this GPS data and send it through LTE to a backend server?

Yes, that device is just the GPS receiever, and it sends its data over serial (UART or I2C). You'll need something else to get a data connection, such as the device you listed. Most small systems use a much simpler one, such as the SIM800L or similar, and a microcontroller to coordinate. (Here's tutorial with an Arduino and very similar goals.)
