Much like the term balls, which are only on the inside, has come to be colloquially used as a synecdoche for “testicles and scrotum”, vagina gets used the same way to encompass “vagina and vulva”. Besides, the clinical definition of vulva includes the vaginal opening, so it’s not exactly a huge leap to the colloquialism.
