basically, when you draw normally in Krita it's stored as a raster. When you make a stroke, all it is is pixels with RGB and alpha (transparency) information.
A vector, on the other hand, is math. Stroke with this brush, this alpha, this colour, going this direction with this curve to produce the result. This effectively means whatever you draw is scalable, because it isn't just pixels on a grid and is actually data representing strokes. And it also means that editing strokes after you made them is a possibility.
