Refer man pages:

archive_impact is run to calculate the per file system disk space impacts for a given cpio, pax, or tar archive. archive_impact writes its results as impacts lines in Ignite-UX configuration file format to
stdout. Results may be redirected to an Ignite-UX configuration file and then included in a sw_sel statement. See instl_adm(4) for details on the syntax of the Ignite-UX configuration file.

-t The archive being processed is in tar format. Either this option, the -c option or the -p option must be specified. tar format is the default for make_sys_image archives.

-g The archive has been compressed using gzip.

Hence the size it is showing are after zipping the files.
