Though they invent aesthetically the music (designing), do they themselves play the instruments or instrument players play the music according to the artist’s composition? And suppose if the hired instrument player creates a better version of the artist’s original composition does the hired instrument player given the credit as well.

Haha, it depends on what the composer chooses to do. And no, more than likely the musicians don’t get credit on the composition. And usually when a composer writes a new piece, he directs the band, orchestra, etc. to play it as he imagined it.
I think it’s very important for composers to be able to play the instruments they are composing for. Not necessarily well, but enough to have a good understanding of the limitations of the instrument as well as what is realistic for a human being to play.
Piano is also a key instrument for composers. Best way to hear chords, as far as I’m concerned.
