I believe that input-forms.xml was split up. Some of the information
went into item-submission.xml and the rest into submission-forms.xml.
But I don't believe that any of this is connected with the
create-Community and create-Collection pages. I think that what
follows is not helpful for what I understand that you are trying to do.

The submission configuration is converted into logical structures by
dspace-api. These are provided to the UI, which uses them to generate
HTML (in the case of dspace-angular -- another front-end could use the
same information quite differently, which is why it is done this way.)

item-submission.xml is read in dspace-api/app/util/SubmissionConfigReader.
submission-forms.xml is read in dspace-api/app/util/DCInputsReader.
