Creators quite often do have a say or even create the story for fillers. They are often made up of things that could/should have been in the manga but were cut due to size and time restraints. Also fillers are generally given a thumbs up by the creator before been made and can change it how they see fit.
eg: Ashido and his few eps of story was ment to be in the manga, he was created by Kubo but was cut due to time restraints.
