So how does this work?

Since I've come close to level 30 I'm only being placed into games with gold, platinum, and diamond players. The remaining spots are filled with a few silver and unranked players. How does this work? It's all in normals, since I'm not ready to play ranked yet. But I guess players are matched up according to their MMR right? So how am I, as an unranked player, regularly matched up with players up to diamond I ELO?

Here is another example of a matchup that I get almost every game: https://ibb.co/h3Rqoc (I don't know how to add 2 pictures in 1 thread).

Normal and ranked MMR are separate. If most of the players are that high then there is a good chance your skill level is pretty good and you will move up fast in ranked. A lot of high ranked players also use normals for casual play or to experiment with champions/strategies so their MMR in normals might be quite a bit lower than ranked.

Maybe you'll get lucky one day and have the lovely pleasure of being put into a challenger norm game.

So much fun to have a challenger enemy adc.
