Can things like void shield generators and bastions hold objectives in 8th?

As long as their datasheet says it's a model (most fortifications are), then yes. But they're generally only a single model, so it's not hard for the opponent to outnumber them.

Also any unit inside said fortification does not add to the number of models for securing.
I'm assuming becuase:
Models embarked in transports are not "on the board" - And im assuming that models embarked in a fortification are treated the same way. (They are not technically on the board even if you've placed them on and in the fortification to show that they are embarked.)

Correct. Despite being able to shoot out of the fire points, they're not on the board for objective purposes.
Is it legal to stick something on top of an objective which blocks all access to it? Like a bastion or something? I can only assume it is, although it seems like something you wouldn't do in a friendly game!!

Why? All it does is force the opponent to kill the fortification.

Because it forces you to destroy Model X (I've heard of people driving baneblades on top of the objective) to secure the objective as *none* of you units can get within 3 inches of the objective to contest it. As i said, its a viable tactic. But it *Reeks* of WAAC some players dont like that.
However. Before a game, if you want a bit of narrative Having one of your bastions *AS* an objective to be destroyed / captured by the enemy could mix things up a bit and add some spice to your games.

No more use of derogatory labels like "TFG", "WAAC", etc in this thread. This forum is for discussing RAW (and occasionally RAI) and these terms are not helpful in that regard, and also can violate our Rule #1 (Be polite) when used poorly.
Any questions, just PM me. Thanks
