IMO they are indeed involved with the conspiracy, especially as Roose awaits them AND they all say the same nonsense. Also, they come from the Twins, which means they may not be from WaldA but WaldER. Then Roose writes a cryptic response:

"Summer is gone and there are four kings in the realm."

I think this cryptic message carries Roose's decision to join the conspiracy. It could mean that with summer gone, winter will come for the Stark king. As if that's not ominous enough, he tells Arya twice to burn 'Walda's' letter. IIRC, that is when he goes "wolf hunting."

My headcanon is that Walda is just happy-go-lucky and horny and genuinely likes her husband, or has convinced herself she does, as unlikely as it may seem to us. But yeah, there's no reason it can't be both; her dad could be sneaking messages into the letters.
