"Used" on the device is the mount of space allocated. "Used" on the FS is the total amount of actual data and metadata in that allocation. You will also need to look at the output of "btrfs fi df" to see the breakdown of the 37.82 GiB into data, metadata and currently unused. See https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#Understanding_free_space.2C_using_the_original_tools for the details.
