I think Dackelone was joking, but no, the pad wouldn't catch fire in a 135. It is flame retardant, after all, since it has to live next to a hot engine, but the real issue is it doesn't get THAT hot where this pad lives in a 135. If it did the paint would discolor among other issues.
No, it's not supposed to put out a car fire. Have you EVER seen an engine fire? That little pad isn't doing SHIT to stop one by falling out lol. Even if it was way bigger it still wouldn't help since the fire gets fed from below. Also, all automotive trim uses those plastic rivets. They're nothing special and they'll also take longer than you think to melt.
