Does Root mean I can install any application on a server?

Yes, it's like being an admin on a forum.
Fedora is a Linux distribution (distro), so it is a flavour of Linux. There are tens or hundreds of distros.

How can I understand whether a particular offer/VPS has Fedora installed?

It's should be in the VPS's specifications, in the Operating System or OS field. Sometimes it's just specified there. Get familiar with some of the distro names here:
http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions (some of the more popular distros are listed at the top of the list that starts with Debian)
Since you're used to cPanel, it might be a good idea to get a VPS with it as well.
Sadly, the few VPS providers that come to mind right now use CentOS, not Fedora.
