Is this really how password managers extensions work? They inject arbitrary javascript in every page you visit?

I would have naively thought that there'd be a better and safer API for it, considering that all browsers already have the infrastructure in place to handle login autocomplete.

Yes. This is mandatory for all browser extensions. There's no API behind a separate permission, even if would be the best way to handle this.
