I think this should be:
imap - <c-r>=synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col(".")-1,1)),"name")=~?'String\\|Comment'?'-':'_'<cr>

I am not sure, why the \ needs to be doubled. I guess it has to be
escaped, because it is evaluated twice or something.

Depends on what your problem in understanding is. For starters, look here:

:h i_CTRL-R_=
:h synIDattr()
:h synIDtrans()
:h synID()
:h line()
:h col()
:h expr1
:h expr4
:h /bar
:h /\(

Best,
