I did the OS X Lion recovery and just realized that I no longer have iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand. Will I get charged for these if I download them again from the App Store? Or are the purchases linked to the machine so it will recognize that my MacBook Air came with them installed and not charge me?
 
You purchases are tied to your itunes account. When you log in again, you should be able to redownload.
 
You won't be charged. In the App Store under previous purchases you should notice the option to "Accept" installs of the iLife programs. Just accept each of them and they'll be downloaded and installed. No charge.
 
Any Apps you previously downloaded, free or pay, are available for re-download at any time. It is really slick, and a major OS X feature for me.

Even if I never physically downloaded them myself? Because iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand came pre-installed.
