Tablespace is a place to store data files. The data file usually has several tables, but nothing prevents it having only one or even a part of a table. Indexes also.

Usually each Tablespace is on a different storage drive and is a logical organization, precisely to be able to differentiate where the files will be. It’s just a facilitator to indicate where the data is physically.
