I really like this plugin as well, I used it on my site http://www.optimerahemsidan.se and i really like it so far. However I just wonder what the plugin creator get out of it creating these free plugins. I have heard the add their own “hidden” links in the plugin code so they gain popularity when people use the plugin. Is this really true?

Not so much with plugins, but Themes seem to have these hidden links/code/advertisements in them more often than not. If the plugin comes from wordpress.org/extend/plugins/, then it is relatively safe of those kind of links. All plugins are welcome to include a link for accepting donations though, and that is a standard acceptable thing to do for Open Source development.
