Oh, yeah, no it definitely doesn't mean appears as in just pops up suddenly. It always meant appears as in it seems like something, but isn't.

That's always the problem with translations; they are usually much too direct and don't pick up the nuance of the language. If something in a translation sounds weird or seems off, it's usually because it is.
