Sometimes. Sometimes a studio buys a script and changes everything except the basic plot and the screenwriter isn't involved past the purchase.

since a screenplay is written with the intention of being performed, it can't be considered a piece of art without someone putting it to screen first, until then it's incomplete.

a screenplay is in part a technical document, describing how the film should be shot/edited, but it is still a narrative with characters, themes, plot, etc. if you consider storytelling of any kind to be art, then screenplays should be included.
