It wouldn't be the first government website with confusing wording. They call it visa, but practically "EB-1 visa" = green card. There's no intermediate stage between the two. There's no sticker on your passport that says EB-1. You can't use your EB-1 status to enter the country or work or anything else.

EB-1 simply means that you jump to the front of the line to get a green card.

even more. there is no difference in the process (as far as how the process works, not time spent waiting) between EB1, EB2, EB3.

Also, calling it a visa is misleading. The Green Card gives you the right to reside here permanently and you don't need any visa once you have it. So it's not a visa, and even if it was a visa it would be the Green Card that would be called out, not the bucket through which you get it.
