I recently moved from Debian to Ubuntu, I usually used apt to install package (and don't want to use the software center as apt it let me know which package are installed as dependencies).
But I already found something I wasn't expecting :
some package like atom and discord are available in the software center but not in apt, isn't the software center a graphic interface for apt ? does it use something else ?

You have just discovered "snap" packages, they are deployed by "snappy" package management system built by Canonical Ltd. (the Ubuntu company).
Snaps are containerised software packages that are simple to create and install. They auto-update and are safe to run.
Read more here: https://docs.snapcraft.io/getting-started/3876
The Software application also contains snaps, in fact
Some applications are available in both formats. In such a case in Ubuntu Software the snap will be listed first. (source)

You could also mention that snaps are (generally) listed above the deb version in the Software Center.

See askubuntu.com/a/1075319/248158 which links to help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/addremove-remove.html.en which has "Applications are available in two formats: snap packages and Debian packages. An application available as a snap package is from now on referred to as a snap. Some applications are available in both formats. In such a case in Ubuntu Software the snap will be listed first."
