An easy way to check what Jellyfin is doing to a video is by going to the dashboard while a client is streaming a video. On the dashboard's homepage, click on a user's video playback info and it will tell you what's happening with the video.
Likewise, on the web player (and Android's Exoplayer), you can open the playback info to see what is happening too.
Also, do you have QSV enabled AND H264 decoding selected? If so, if you attempt to play any H264 video and it plays fine, then your server is HWA decoding it just fine. It will fail if it wasn't.
When I disabled hwa in dashboard, decoding was still hevc(native). But when I enabled qsv and unchecked os native dxva~ thing, log was changed to hevc(hevc_qsv). so hevc(native) means software decoding, I guess
