I think it depends, each particular musician has his own creative process. I think you are right and it's easier to write lyrics to music, bc music defines the rhyme, the length and complexity of a thought or a story that is to be told in a song. And its obviously easier to put together semi coherent text when you have a catchy tune. But with some musicians its so clear that the core of their songs are lyrics. what comes to my mind is Queen's songs, almost in all of them the texts are so complex and cohesive, they tell stories, they can be published and read as poems even without music - so I have no doubts lyrics were written first and then they created music canvas in a studio. I also understood that was thier process when I watched the biopick. The Doors, Beatles, Eagles , a lot of "old" rock music is text-centric. The fact that so many songs of 60-90ss had also an amazing music just shows the level of the talent of that times creators. Obviously we need to factor the genre , for some genres the lyrics are secondary or even not important at all. What is the mechanics of the actual in-studio work process - I don't know. I think it can be very different for every band or a singer .
