It says Apple iPad. It just does its best to figure out what kind of hardware is connected. It knows the OS version of MacOS often so its funny to me that somehow that wouldn't carry over. Maybe it is reading the driver which is a ported iPad driver?
 
I've seen several iOS/iPadOS apps also report that the M1 is an iPad Pro, so I think a lot of software just hasn't been updated for the new hardware yet. Even Mactracker on MacOS wouldn't recognize the M1 as anything but an iPad (if at all) until after an update. The first update they pushed added the M1 Macs to their database, but actually identifying the M1 as an M1 didn't happen until a subsequent update.
