You would not believe how many big name artists come in and lay out tracks like that and then say "Ok, that's what I've got.... do something with it..." someone else "writes" the song, the artist gets the credit, someone else gets money. A lovely way of doing business, if I do say so myself....
In this case it sounds like Nicks was just laying out the lyrics for a partially fleshed out tune, the tune she was using was just throwaway to get the lyrics down. A single step along the path of making the sausage.

So...Is there a team of people who rework these songs or is it mostly the vision of a producer?

Ir all depends. Sometimes the artist group themselves flesh it all out in the studio. Tracks will get recorded that are for that purpose only, bits and pieces pulled from here or there get stitched together, the band puts it together, or the producers, the finalized idea gets learned and rehearsed, and then the real tracks get laid. Sometimes the suits say "hey, that sounds worth pursuing - send that to _______ and have it reworked."
