[Solved] pacman see's a tarball that I installed without pacman??

Question

Okay, before the "you need to use pacman for that" comments begin, I've aparently been doing things the hard way.  I finally read up on the ABS.  Been putting it off because I thought it was only for making new packages to add to the database.  If it isn't in pacman, then I went straight to the AUR.  Couldn't find it there, I haven't installed it yet, until yesterday, when I took a tarball that I had for TeamViewer7, unpacked it, and ran it outside of pacman.
Well, I've got a better grasp on ABS now, so I've already taken the liberty of clubbing myself on the head.  But, funny thing.  I typed pacman -Qm and to my surprise, there sits TeamViewer7.  So.... pacman saw my install without running pacman??  I suppose it's possible that I tried to install through pacman with an AUR package but it was giving me problems so I scrapped it and installed my tar file.  Just curious why it's showing up on pacman.

Found it, thanks everyone.  I didn't think to use the query tool, still kind of new to pacman.  I dug through the man page real quick to find the info that I needed:

So,  I must've installed it when I installed arch, but for some reason it was not on my menus in XFCE.  Then yesterday I installed it again from my tarball and it showed up in the menus... soo, in a few days when I get home maybe I'll kill it and try again from the AUR so I can give the report back to the owners of that package build.  I'm new, lol.
lol on the pic Xyne
