Are pieces for orchestra written mainly by pianists and keyboard players?
I'm just wondering if pieces for orchestra are/were mainly written on pianos or synthesizers. Is it just written on piano for all the instruments since on the piano it's easiest to play both harmony/melody?
(Even though the piano might not even be used in the actual performance?)

Yes, composers/orchestrators have generally found keyboard a more useful tool than guitar (though I'm sure we could find a few exceptions).
The future may see more and more composers writing directly into a computer though. One man with a keyboard can try out more than one man with a guitar. One man with a sequencer can try out more than either!
