If you put a piece of cellophane tape on the surface of the balloon, and jab the pin through the tape into the balloon, it won't pop.

It is very simple. The material of the ballon is on a lot of stress when it is inflated so the moment you jab a pin through it, the punctures acts as a fisure and leads to reap the ballon, popping instantly. When there is any other film "holding" the baloon's material together, the material wont rip and the ballon will just deinflate.
Think of it as the film acting as a force against the stress to which the ballon is under due to inflation.

the tape holds that area of the balloon in place, so when the pin goes through, the pressure on the balloon is stabilized.

The balloon normally pops because where the pin goes in, the rubber is torn completely by the outrush of air. With the tape on, the rubber can't tear so there's no outrush, so the b. doesn't pop.
