Steam versions of games tend to run a little better, and also benefit from things like Steam distributing pre-compiled shaders for the games. There are also some cases where non-steam games will require you to install specific windows components through wine for the game or in-game media to work.
Overall Fallout 4 should work, but without actually trying it I can’t say if it will work without tinkering or not.

Thanks for your edit. I did run into that problem, but you gave me a better starting point! probably saved me hours of frustrated searching.
My solution, if anyone else needs this, was to install winetricks (through the discovery store) > and install xact_64 for the game (Install a Windows DLL or component). I mostly followed this tutorial and used xact_64 instead of whatever they said. And I did install FO4 through heroic the first time.
