It is only an interface, but it actually does not hold any funds in it

A typical LN wallet would have a node behind it that does in fact hold the channel state, so the funds are in this sense inside the wallet. @DarthCoin is 100% correct that LN wallets are more of a wallet than on-chain "wallets".
