Certainly not! They just earn you some college credits to get you a head start. Although they're not at all necessary, colleges/universities like to see that you've taken AP courses because it means you can handle a college workload.

Are university courses longer in America or something? Is that why people take them?

As far as I know, all courses run for one semester. I plan on doing a double major in college, for music education and flute performance. In a lot of schools this is a five-year program instead of the regular four, so having credits in advance will lighten the load a bit for me about a year from now.
