Is there brands using fake pimentos in green olives?
Define "fake".
A Pimiento is a type of chili pepper. Traditionally these were cut into small pieces and stuffed into olives by hand. However, this is fairly labor intensive, and industrially it's easier to puree them and form them into strips with the aid of a kind of natural gum/gelatin-like substance, which allows for strips that are of uniform size and easier for machines to deal with.
So, yes, there are companies that use "fake" pimientos. However, these "fake" pimientos are generally made from real pimiento peppers.
It is a large, sweet, heart-shaped, red chili pepper. They are commonly used to stuff green olives and to make pimento cheese.
That is one spelling of the red "cherry pepper", pimento, notably used for stuffed olives, meats, and cheeses. The Spanish spelling pimiento is sometimes used interchangably, but there are technical differences.

Pimentos are inserted into green olives as a garnish. This was done by hand until the early 1960s, when the first olive-stuffing machine was invented.
No, the noun 'pimento' is a common noun, a word for any of this variety of pepper or plant.
A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, thing, or a title; for example:
Why are some cherry peppers hot and some are not even though they come off the same plant?
Its because they were pollinated by a hot pepper. I have had sweet banana peppers cross pollinated by either a cayanne or a jalipeno and it was so hot, it would make your underwear burst into flames the next day.
