create all the tables it needs to, and you are not supposed to mess with
the db yourself?

Hibernate uses existing tables. It does not create tables.
You have to create POJO classes to create Hibernate classes.

Actually, up to you. You can use Hibernate against an existing schema, or
you can have it (or rather, some tools) generate the schema for you.
