If you want, you can LLDB not to prefer synthetic values - which changes the way the current SBValue works - or for the same backing variable, give you a non-synthetic SBValue, which is what GetNonSyntheticValue() does

As far as I understand, that SBValue itself (the parent) would be considered "real", but its children (the vector elements) would be "synthetic" (because they were generated by formatter).

In your scenario, the SBValue for the vector is synthetic; the SBValue instances for each of the vector elements are not synthetic (well, unless, they are themselves vectors or other things with synthetic providers)

Does that match what you’re seeing?
