Is the whole “pay me a dollar retainer so you’re my client” trope an actual thing?

  Not really. One obvious reason: there are pro-bono and state-provided attorneys, but they still retain the privilege with clients that don't pay. There's no requirement for money to change hands, and the mere act of doing so doesn't create an attorney-client relationship where one doesn't otherwise exist.
