So as I understand it, virgin olive oil is made from cold pressing olives.
If I fry or roast stuff using virgin olive oil, did I just waste my money?

don’t overthink it. Use extra-virgin olive oil if you want to impart the flavor of green olives. Use refined/“light” olive oil if you want a healthy cooking oil that won’t make your shit taste like olives. EVOO has a slightly lower smoke point, but if you aren’t going higher than 400°F then either oil will work fine.
