When an IP address is assigned to a SVI on a switch, think of that as a host inside the switch with a network card connected to the physical network. Just like a network card in a host PC. The host in the switch will need to use ARP and an ARP table, just like any other host. It can be told a default-gateway IP address, name-server, etc and will ARP for the MAC addresses when it needs them. That is seperate from the MAC address table that the (L2) switch itself builds from learned addresses.
