You're using the variable autoplay rather than the string "autoplay", try updating your code to this:

if ($('.modal-box.opened').find('video').attr('autoplay') == true) {

  $('.modal-box.opened').find('video').get(0).play();

I think you forgot the quotes around autoplay, like

To check if autoplay is set:

var $video = $('.modal-box.opened').find('video');

if( typeof $video.attr('autoplay') === "string"){
    $video.get(0).play();
}

or to check if autoplay is not set:

if( typeof $video.attr('autoplay')  === "undefined"){
    //Logic here
}
