The purpose of the "fake" kind is to filter basic stuff like grease out so that it doesn't coat your walls. The filter in it is very basic, but if you look at one that has been used for a while, it is usually covered in a thick coat of grease. That's grease that didn't go somewhere else.
It's definitely not as good as one that vents outdoors, but it's not worthless either.

Carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and other combustion byproducts are also very important to vent to maintain indoor air quality and promote good health, but CO can outright kill everyone in the house with acute exposure.
