Do USB Audio Interface XLR Inputs show up as separate devices on Windows over the USB connection?

Question

Devices I'm looking at specifically are these 3. I also want to clarify that I mean does it show up as 4 different devices in Windows sound settings? I don't plan on using these devices with a DAW.

It depends on the driver.
I used to have a Behringer UMC404HD and that showed up as 2 devices, it had 2 channels combined into each device (channel 1+2 and channel 3+4).
My TASCAM interface for example shows up as a single 16 channel device.
I don't know about your other two products. You could contact the manufacturer.
One side note: Behringer is doing a mediocre job in regard of documentation and the USB driver crashed very often with my interface. However it offers a lot for the price.
