I gotcha. I ask because I was thinking of having a one-shot based around this town that has been being set upon by these odd abominations, requiring the players to constantly fight them off and investigate why they are appearing all of a sudden.
My plan was that there was a small Kuo-toa cult living in the sewers and when they would sneak up to the surface at night they would find things they believed to be gods. Like a town statue, or the light house, or even a lamppost.
The two major ones I know are Blibdoolpoolp and Dagon. Hard for me to believe that Blibdoolpoolp is the more prominent of the two.
...but as is common in D&D, that doesn't preclude other possibilities. One description states that they just make up their own deities.
In a campaign I saw, the adventurers convinced a Kuo-Toa cult to switch deities by ordaining a single Kuo-Toa to be a bishop of another Evil deity, and by that, the adventurers peacefully removed all the Kuo-Toa from the BBEG battle and made lasting friends of a Neutral Evil society. (Some of the party's alignments are questionable at best.) Prior to the switch, the Kuo-Toa worshipped a massive, gigantic pearl ordained by a theocrat (the BBEG) to be a blessed Blibdoolpoolp artifact.
A one-eyed, watchful giant that keeps the beaches shipwreck-free or a race of tall, thin beings with flames for eyes that watch the streets at night and sleep in the sunlight could easily be gods to the Kuo-Toa.
A herd of royal horses could be getting sick because a cult of Kuo-Toa are bringing them spoiled offerings as worship at night.
As I often state with D&D, go nuts.

Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.

Are the 'gods' that the Kuo-Toa create actual gods? Or are they simply animated constructs that they believe are gods?

Yes.
Seriously though, there's nothing suggests that the physical manifestations are anything less than gods, albeit maybe ones limited in power.
