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?

Oh, if I was (shallow) frying with olive oil, it would be for the olive flavour. Smoke point hasn’t really been an issue, you can still brown things just fine using olive oil below it’s smoke point.
If you ever do need a hot temp oil use rice bran oil.
