iPhone storage refers to the local capacity on your phone and does not reflect the storage available in the cloud for your account.
If you want to only store your photos on the cloud & not on your phone, you'll have to go to Settings > Photos > Optimise iPhone Storage.
It'll then prompt you to Remove from iPhone or Download Photos & Video.
Choose Remove from iPhone.
