Isn't that just hearsay by Roman writers? I heard another claim was that Valerian and his troopers were settled peacefully after the war in Persia in the city Shapur had them build.

No. Valerian was held prisoner by Shapur.

But it was typical for monarchs (who don't have super bad blood anyway) to treat each other well in captivity. So basically Valerian was like in house arrest in a palace somewhere in Susa. Val died in captivity though. Illness supposedly.
