Is it risky to use rough puff pastry which has been expired a month ago but was preserved in freezer and not in refrigerator?

It is better to be safe than sorry, throw it out.
If it was stored all that time in the freezer, it would not be a food safety issue. But the dough might have dried out or any fats may have become rancid. Since the end result might not be what you expect, you'll have to decide whether or not it is worthwhile using.

Are wonton wrappers also called puff pastry?
No, puff pastry is often purchased in the freezer section of the store next to the frozen pies and pie crusts. Puff pastry is painstakingly created by folding and rolling out sheets of dough with layers of butter so that when they bake the water in the butter creates steam and "puffs" the layers of dough, creating the soft, flaky texture that puff pastry is known for. Won ton wrappers are more closely related to pasta dough I believe.
Can you cook fresh puff pastry out of date?
You should be able to check the expiration date on the frozen puff pastry box before you purchase it. You should expect that if part of the puff pastry has been removed from the packaging, defrosted and then refrozen, it will not last as long as the original expiry date. If you are making your own puff pastry from scratch, unless you have one of those high end vacuum sealers, I wouldn't assume it would survive freezer burn more than a couple of months, at most.
Are biscuits a type of pastry?
No, although biscuits may be sold in a pastry shop, they are not a type of pastry. A "pastry" has to contain some pastry to be a pastry. Pastry is generally designed to be light and crumbly, whereas biscuits are not.
Is shortcrust pastry the same as puff pastry?
No - though either could be used for baking a savoury pie or dessert. Shortcrust pastry has a higher proportion of fat to flour and requires more careful handling. For a dessert there is usually a good proportion of sugar added to shortcrust pastry. It is easy to make at home. Flakey pastry is made by a process of rolling and folding so that a pastry with thin layers of pastry separated by a thin smear of fat is produced. It is much more cost-effective to buy this type of pastry. It keeps in the freezer and is easier to handle than short crust. It has no sugar in it so can be used for either sweet or savoury pies. Flakey pastry can rise impressively during cooking and by glazing it with egg-wash it can bake to a glossy golden brown. You needn't line a pie dish with it. You can simply fill the dish with the filling and roll just a flakey pastry top, slash and glaze it before putting it in the oven. When serving you can lift off the whole top, portion it, and serve a piece of pastry to each guest along with the spooned-out filling.
