on many modern file systems, larger directories are stored as some sort of B-Tree or hash tree, so there's quite a lot of indexing data in there along with the actual directory entries
So I gather this depends on the file system.

On my ext4 file system, I have a directory that has >2TB and the directory entry itself only shows:

$ ls -ld Stuff
drwxrwxr-x 146 akk akk   36864 Feb 21 21:18 Stuff/

$ du -bs Stuff
2093651427987    Stuff

Not sure what to take away from that!
