In the case of an "inner hollow" in manifests similar to a hollow but is not one itself but simply possess the traits of one. Also, you assumed that Ichigo somehow turns into a Vasto Lorde form when in fact nobody knows what a vasto lorde looks like except its apparently human-sized, that isn't enough to state anything hollow like and human-sized is a vasto lorde.
