As guessed by @Peter Spier always look at the file extension to determine the file type instead of the file icon. File icons can be misleading

What makes you think that? InDesign has no ability to Save AS to PDF.

My guess is your system is set, incorrectly, to associate the .indd file type with Acrobat and it therefore showing the PDF icon, and that you are depending on icons, rather than showing file extensions, to determine file types.
