Yes, publishers pay for books they publish. Whether you work through an agent who markets your book with publishers or contact them directly, if they believe your book will sell they will commission it.
There are several ways that a publisher can decide to pay you, for instance a part of the profit, or a one-time fee for the rights to publish it. Be careful how this is worded, because it is possible to give a publisher unlimited rights to publish your book forever and even change it as they want without your consent.
Always check the contract on what rights you give them, and how the payments are calculated.
It is also possible to publish books yourself, meaning that you pay a fee to a publishing agency to sell, market and produce the book you have written. In this case, you are making an investment, hoping the book sells well enough for you to get a profit out of it. This way is more risky, but can be rewarding for writers who are already popular and want more control over the publishing process.

Yes, publishers typically pay authors an advance against future royalties for the rights to publish their books. The advance amount can vary based on factors such as the author's track record, the book's market potential, and the publisher's budget. Additionally, authors can earn royalties based on book sales once the advance has been earned out.

Why do you pay for books?
Authors do the work of writing books, editors do the work of editing them, printers do the work of printing them unless the books are ebooks, publishers go to the expense of advertising books, and everybody has to be paid for their work. People do not do these things for free. Hence, the consumer, who wants to read a book, has to pay for it. Or borrow it from the library. (Libraries also pay for the books that they have in their collections.)

Should publishers international be asking for money?
If a publisher asks for money before they will print and publish your written work, they are classed as vanity publishers. Vanity publishers will often heap praise on your work, no matter how good or bad it is. They are only interested in making money, and unlike genuine publishers, will make little effort to sell your printed book. Some writers will pay and use vanity publishers, selling their books themselves.
