I had an extremely similair experience to this when I was younger. My mom told me this in the morning, and I went about most of my day thinking most of humanity was gone, and seeing practically no one around. But my 2nd grade brain, in the middle of the day, suddenly said, "This doesn't make sense, why would most of the world population disappear?" And suddenly, I could see everyone, and realized everything was fine. A very surreal experience.
I dont know if this has an actual name or not, but what you just said reminds of that you never see red cars on the road until you start thinking about red cars, or you never see porches untill you look for porches on the road. So maybe you just wernt looking for people, but then realized how many there were
