Hello @Yarin_Liba,
I’m having trouble viewing the images you posted for some reason. You can drag and drop images directly into the reply here so it isn’t required to leave the site to view them.
However, what you describe sounds normal. The “Split” functions in the Subtool palette merely group the selected polygons into another subtool. They do not change or clean up the geometry in any way. If you split the polygons from the side of a closed mesh volume into another subtool, the result would be a hole in the mesh allowing you to “look inside” the volume.
Features like Dynamesh or Live Boolean can cut away sections of the mesh, then close the holes and resurface it , creating a new closed volume. It’s possible you saw one of these features being used.
