Your hymen can possibly break when inserting a tampon. Hymens tend to be considered the physical "virginity" of a woman in this culture. Usually inserting a tampon only stretches the hymen a bit, but not all women are created equal and some just don't have as much elasticity as others. Some are so elastic-like that they can stretch enough to allow a penis to enter.
Hymen elasticity is lost with age and activity. If you have rough sex or sex very often then it will tear the hymen. If you are older (like mid-30s) and your hymen is still there and you engage in sex, chances are your hymen will not allow an entire penis to enter without breaking.
The hymen (or "cherry" as some younger generations refer to it as) usually has a small hole in it as it is. A hymen is made of very thin tissue and it is fairly easy to tear or stretch. It's located at the entrance to the vagina so, actually, it isn't inside of the vagina. The hole is there to allow menstrual blood to escape the body and is usually too small to accommodate an entire penis to enter the vagina without stretching/tearing.
It is rare but some females are born with an imperforate hymen--or a hymen with no opening. A doctor will do a simple surgery to create a hole in the hymen of these newborn females so that blood from later menstrual cycles does not back up into the body.

If your hymen is not in-tact it does indicate that you have done something to tear/break it. If you have inserted objects into your vagina then it is broken. Your hymen does tend to indicate virginity since it usually does not tear/break unless something has been inserted. It doesn't actually tell if you had a penis put inside of you though.
Usually, when a person claims to be a virgin people expect for the person's hymen to be in-tact. This being said, if you claim to a future husband that you are a virgin and he checks on wedding night and doesn't see a hymen he may feel you have already lost your virginity previously. However, there is the option to have a hymen reconstructed called hymenoplasty if you have accidentally torn yours and want it to be repaired before sexual activities.
In short, some people actually do consider tampon usage taking of the virginity while others do not see it that way. Doctors can tell if you've inserted something into your vagina by seeing if your hymen has been stretched and/or torn but they usually don't say anything to you or your parent(s).

Yes, it can pop your cherry, but your "cherry" isn't a good indicator of virginity, as it can broken riding a bike, a horse, and doing other normal activity. Until you engage in sex, you are a virgin, regardless if your hymen is intact or not.

Having your "cherry popped" has NOTHING to do with your virginity.
If you have sex, you are no longer a virgin.
If you pop your cherry, you can still be a virgin.

They can pop your cherry, but tampons don't take away virginity. A penis in your vagina takes virginity away.
