everytime you get on the bike/swim/run you damn well make sure your heart is beating out of your chest, you're short of breath, and you're sweating like a laborer. Do this 5x a week and you will lose tons of fat/be more vascular/be healthier.

You don't lose weight doing cardio, you lose weight from a caloric deficit. Cardio can help you burn more calories, but if your diet isn't in check it will do absolutely nothing.
You need to get your diet absolutely flawless, then you can add in cardio as needed.

I thought that moderate intensity burned fat and higher intensity burned carbohydrates? I mean, high intensity still burns fat, but fat burning is supposed to be a slow process, right? That's why there are different zones (hr-60%-fat, hr-80%-cardio)

Cardio paired with actually trains/builds muscles. It won't give you massive tree-trunk legs like massive squats and deadlifts will ... it's like any other exercise in that it only trains to the perceived level of need. Most people will see muscle growth with a good cardio routine. A veteran bodybuilder might see losses in girth/lifts if their cardio gets in the way of their workout routine.
But bear in mind that few people who go to the gym chronically over time will qualify as "veteran bodybuilders".
