If you add a mouse constraint, it should be apparent that the collision shape is defined by the two circles, while the outline you're drawing is the vertices of the "box" composite. So, yes, you should be rendering the individual bodies to get the true collision shape.

Here's a complete, runnable example with the circles spaced further apart. You should be able to drag your mouse all the way through without triggering a collision between the mouse and the body. But if you grab the circles towards the ends, it'll collide.

const engine = Matter.Engine.create();
engine.gravity.y = 0;
const partA = Matter.Bodies.circle(50, 50, 10);
const partB = Matter.Bodies.circle(100, 50, 10);
const boxA = Matter.Body.create({parts: [partA, partB]});
const canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
const mouseConstraint = Matter.MouseConstraint.create(engine, {
  element: canvas,
});
Matter.Composite.add(engine.world, [boxA, mouseConstraint]);
const bodies = Matter.Composite.allBodies(engine.world);

let last = 0;
(function rerender(ts) {
  const dt = Math.min(ts - last, 50);
  last = ts;
  ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);

  for (const body of bodies) {
    const {x, y} = body.vertices[0];
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.moveTo(x, y);
    body.vertices.forEach(({x, y}) => ctx.lineTo(x, y));
    ctx.lineTo(x, y);
    ctx.stroke();
  }

  Matter.Engine.update(engine, dt);
  requestAnimationFrame(rerender);
})();
</script>

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!
