It states in the book that Frodo was convinced he really was in pain, & I doubt even Gollum could dupe Frodo with an act. Besides, like I said above, it also states that he avoided the touch of their elven cloaks. He had no motivation to pretend that those hurt him, so it must've been that they really did hurt/burn him.
