We can install a low voltage switch and 120 v switch in the same 2 gang switch box using an approved divider, correct? (for example, a low voltage fireplace switch and light switch)
Thank you.
 
They also make boxes that are half box/half LV ring.

Interestingly, I usually see gas fireplaces where the flame switch and the blower switch are on opposite sides of the fireplace.

Weird and inconvenient, in my opinion.
 
Yes, the divider(s) make a single box into two or more separate boxes, here's the code reference:

314.28(D) Permanent Barriers. Where permanent barriers are
installed in a box, each section shall be considered as a
separate box.
