Well I can think of some solutions without knowing the capabilities of IOT
devices.
1. Set up a filtering bridge between your WLAN and the WLAN that has the IOT
devices. In this way they are on the same logical network but not on the same
physical network. You could then set up a rule on the bridge to only forward
traffic from your phone to the IOT network.
2. If the IOT devices can accept routing tables than you could let them know
that there is a gateway router back to your phone's IP address.
A lot of this gets easier if you use hard=coded IP addresses or IPv6 since
than you can more easily build the correct rules into your bridge or router.
Commercial ethernet switches used by offices can also have per a device rules
on what specific items in the lan are allowed to reach. I haven't played with
commercial networking equipment since wireless became so prevalent but physical
network switches allowed the setup of VLAN or Virtual LAN to allow one physical
network to behave more like two separate networks. I also believe a lot of the
higher end home routers have Guest networks available in their default
configuration. These would be a lot like the public WIFI in places like
StarBucks and might be a way to go with the IOT.
Hopefully I am not completely off base, since I have never study the network
capabilities of IOT devices
Best wishes,
