Is it fraud when they tell you you’ll spend most of your time coding cool new products but then you mostly do customer support and meetings?

Intentional misrepresentation by any party is exactly that: a fraud. Morally at the least and possibly legally if the circumstances meet the legal standard.

The important thing is that such judgement doesn't depend on the integrity of the other party: the act stands on its own, independent of the intentions of the other party.
