SharePoint Site Collections and Web Sites are not created under IIS. They are defined within the content database.

From more information see An Overview of the SharePoint Platform for ASP.NET Developers:

Sites are similar in concept to virtual directories in ASP.NET, although they are not equivalent. A site contains more functionality and is not actually a virtual directory. For example, in SharePoint, pages for a site are often rendered by merging file-based definitions, page templates, and content from the content database. This type of page is termed a site page or content page. The template can either be defined in a file or stored on the content database.
