each client reports it's playback capabilities to the jellyfin server, from that information the jellyfin server decides whether it needs to be transcoded
if there is a setting in the roku client then you can change it there
if not then it is an incomplete feature and you should look for something to limit the bandwidth to force transcoding
settings on the server are only telling jellyfin what the Server is capable of doing in the event that a client does not support something
f.e. if transcoding is disabled on the server and the client does not support HEVC then it will simply fail
if transcoding is enabled on the server and the client reports it can not play HEVC then it will transcode to h264 (or what you have configured)
the jellyfin server logs should show this and likely the roku client is telling the server it is capable even when it's not
