Benjamin is not immune to fire at all.

He can manipulate it, but it would still burn him like any other vampire. Fire is still fire. If he creates it or not, it'll still burn like fire. Using the fire the way he does should actually cause him a great amount of pain with the heat so close to him. As a human it might have warmed him, or burned him, he may have been covered in burn scares before becoming a vampire, but as a vampire it's probably almost unbearable to hold for long periods of time.

Which might explain why he never used it to just burn the Volturi down in a great amount, the pain it caused would make it hard for him to control the raging flames which could have hurt his allies.

Still, fire is fire, and he is a vampire so his weakness stands as such. It doesn't matter if he creates it or not. It's still going to be fire.
