virt-manager connects to qemu:///system by default, which uses the system
instance of libvirtd, started by systemd

If you create VMs as a regular user using other tools, it will likely default
to qemu:///session, which autolaunches a libvirtd instance as your regular
user. These are different namespaces so the VMs will never show up together in
virt-manager.

If you want to see your user created VMs in virt-manager, run it as that user
like: virt-manager --connect qemu:///session
