Yes, that's the misunderstanding here.
After 1.e4 c6, the game is a Caro-Kann. Both White and Black are now playing the Caro-Kann.
There's not really such a thing as a "Black opening", except that in this case, the last move made was Black's, so it was Black's choice to go into this line. You can't choose to play the Caro-Kann as White, since Black could choose e5, c5, or whatever as his second move.
that would be the pegota opening
