VLAN interfaces aka SVIs are not the same thing as a VLAN.

When you run #show ip interface brief you are seeing interface vlan or Switched Virtual Interface (SVI) : SVI means virtual interface which provides a routed gateway into and out of a VLAN or simply a setup to make communication between different vlans
