That's only true without a typmod.  Consider:

CREATE TEMP TABLE tt (a varchar default null, b varchar(10) default null,
c timestamptz default null, d timestamptz(4) default null);

\d tt

  a      | character varying           |
  b      | character varying(10)       | default NULL::character varying
  c      | timestamp with time zone    |
