If RV fridge works does this mean the converter is working?
If you're on shore power will the fridge work without a functionaing converter? My guess is no because it needs 12v power in order to operate -- correct?

I looked at the schematic you posted on your other thread and see that you have an inverter/charger, not a stand alone converter.
You should be able to measure the 12V output from the inverter/charger at it's outputs and, if everything is not interrupted by a circuit breaker, failed charger, or bad connection to the batteries, that same voltage should be present when measuring across the battery terminals.
If you don't have a meter, get one. It is the handiest tool for diagnosing electrical problems. A test lamp won't tell you what voltages are present.
Edit: Check your other thread about electrical problems. I believe I found the answer to your questions about the fridge in this thread, the fridge is wired off the terminal strip with circuit breakers on the hot side. That's why the fridge has it's own fuse. Check the second breaker from the top on that terminal strip, it should be a 40 amp breaker. All of your other 12V devices with the exception of the breakaway system and jacks are powered through that 40 amp breaker. The jacks have their own 30 amp breaker.
