This basically means your company is hired by a US company and your company is paid. How your company pays you is between you and your company. Your company needs to pay US taxes and you need to pay taxes where ever you are living.
Scenario 2: You claim you’re in the US while working from somewhere else
Assuming you are a US citizen and a Canadian visa holder, you should be able to do this. The reason you need to be a US citizen is because you’ll have issues on h1b. I think your h1b becomes inactive if you’re not in the country for 6 months. There’s nothing illegal about this. You’ll just have to pay taxes both in US and Canada. But you’ll be lying to the US company by saying you’re working in the US. At some point, the lie will be caught and you’ll be let go for breaching some contract.
Scenario 3:
The US company does not care where you are and is willing to pay you US pay. Small companies may do this because they don’t want to go thru the headache of handling different country tax policies. But large companies will likely have an office in that country and would rather pay you the local pay.
