If I create a Filter, does that automatically create a page?

I notice that when a Tag is created, a Tag page is created. For example, if I create a Tag called “Basketball Shoes,” a Tag page at the following URL would be created (don’t click the link—it’s a dummy page):

https://domainname.myshopify.com/collections/all/basketball-shoes

And that page would have the following canonical URL:

https://domainname.myshopify.com/collections/all/basketball-shoes

And even though it’s an actual page with its own canonical URL, that Tag page would not show up in https://domainname.myshopify.com/sitemap.xml

So, even though the page exists, it’s not in the XML Sitemap.

That’s the setup to the question. Here’s the question:

If I ditch the Tag approach and instead create a Filter called “Basketball Shoes,” would doing so create a Filter page? I don’t see a Filter page, but since I know Tag pages can exist on the site without existing in the XML Sitemap, I don’t know how to know for sure whether creating Filters creates Filter pages.

Anyone know how I can figure that out?
