I am trying to use MItMeshPolygon::getEdges() to obtain a list of edge coordinates.

However it returns a list of indices for the edges. Where can I find the corresponding data structure that the returned indices refer to?

If you need the coordinates, just use MItMeshPolygon::getPoints:

void MItMeshPolygon::getPoints (
    MPointArray &pointArray,
    MSpace::Space space = MSpace::kObject,
    MStatus *ReturnStatus = NULL)

Retrieves the positions of the vertices on the current face/polygon that the iterator is pointing to. Vertex positions will be inserted into the given array and will be indexed using face-relative vertex IDs (ie. ordered from 0 to (vertexCount of the face) - 1), which should not be confused with the vertexIDs of each vertex in relation to the entire mesh object.
