Oh wait I think I got it.
It's her friend - > C'est son ami
It's son ami because we do not know if her friend is male or female. The (f) in the example was because of the her, but not referencing the friend.
If the friend is female, it would then be C'est son amie.
Is this correct?

Yes, that's it! Contrary to English, in French we can't know whether the person related to the friend is a man or a woman because possessive adjectives agree with the person or thing "owned", and not with the "owner".
If the friend was a woman you're right that it would be: C'est son amie (with a final E). Since they sound the same though, when speaking only the context can tell you the gender.

Thanks for confirming that for me. I appreciate it. I'm in that overwhelmed phase now where things make perfect sense and then two seconds later I completely forget haha
