the only people who would have access to the 'code' of your website would
be people who have access to login to the server and permissions to access
those files - unless your IIS configuration is messed up.

The way we do it is, use a WDP to compile a web site - usually
pre-compiled , non-updateable - to a local deployment folder , customizing
the result as necessary.
Then we have a second solution that includes the local deployment folder
as a web site.
From there we use CopyWebSite to actually deploy to the final
destination - CopyWebSite allows you to pick and choose what gets copied
and what doesn't.
We never use Publish WebSite site - which imo is only useful for a 1st
time publish and useless for updates due to its destructive all-or-nothing
nature.

We use this same type of scenario for non-web app updates as well - use
build actions to copy appropriate files to a deployment folder after
build.
Open the deployment folder as a website and use CopyWebSite to update
existing installations.

If i just do a simple Copy Website will this pose a security risk, such
as people being able to see my code in the vb files?

When would I use "Copy Web site" over "Publish Website" or visa versa?
Why would I use the Web Deployment Project vs these options?

I want to make sure no one can pull up/read/download my vb source code
(in .vb files).

I would prefer easy update of the site (code or aspx.)

Thanks.
