[the boys] do heroes actually fight the villains or is it an act?

so in the comics, its established that nearly all the heroes are pretty much just celebrities with powers and typically only stop a few small crimes to look good in the papers. but there have been quite a few times where a hero has been shown fighting a super villian( like when A train was fighting that guy at the fair). how does that work? are those villains paid by vought or are they actually just super powered people who go on crime sprees? if its the latter, does vought risk losing a hero in the fight or do they check out the villain first and see if the hero can beat them?

It's all fake. The heroes and the villians. The villians are paid in secret and usually only attack fake events like a bank that's been closed for renovations or whatnot. The A train fight that resulted in the death of civilians was because A train tried to be flashy with his takedown of the villian instead of the scripted actions. 

Some villians do exist but they're funded by vought through shell companies and kept in line through secret means and more powerful heroes. Told to take a dive but do whatever they want with the loot from a jewelry heist so long as the Hero looks good chasing them off. 

Whenever the supes face real criminals the collateral damage is high so they're kept to smaller events by vought to mitigate the PR risks. 

Basically if it's a supe on supe fight it's a WWE match for fans. If it's real crimes it's a one sided affair against petty criminals to make the hero look good without having to do anything.
