You can think of Django as just a library. We call it a "framework" because it defines a whole way of working. Likewise, the Python standard library calls unittest a "framework" and this is consistent, because unittest also defines a whole way of working. But the difference between a framework and a library can be blurred.
So when you deploy your app, you need to include the libraries on which it depends, and Django is one of them.
