If I have a orange dot being in the corner of my phone everytime I’m on a call, does that mean someone is listening through an app ?

It only indicates that the microphone is being used by an app on your phone -- when you are making a call the Phone app is using the microphone. Also see the following from Status icons and symbols on your iPhone - Apple Support


An orange indicator  means the microphone is being used by an app on your iPhone.
