Well they are related, but they are not the same thing: disp2571 is the disposable, while deb-10-java-dvm is the template that generates the disposable. The same happens using disposable template fedora-32-dvm that comes preinstalled with Qubes release 4.0. I remember that in the past (not sure which Qubes release) writing the disposable name in the search field of the Qubes Manager, then the correct disposable appeared and it was possible to use "run command in qube" to start additional applications in it, which is no longer possible from Qubes Manager.
