No, the Stones didn't write Silver Train for Johnny Winter. They recorded it during the sessions for Sticky Fingers, but it got held over.
John Lennon wrote a song specifically for Johnny Winter, entitled Rock n Roll People.

not sure if this is true or not but directly from a johnny winter albums liner notes "Winter was shown the demo of silver train by one of the stones and decided to record a version thinking the band had shelved the song"

That is true. As a matter of fact, Winter finished the song first.

Then there is the story about the switch: Winther's I'm Yours And I'm Hers and Silver Train...

I remember the story that Winter was visiting the Stones while recording/rehearsing and asked for a song.
He heard an early version of the still unreleased Silver train and liked it a lot.The Stones/ Jagger allowed him to take the song.
Similar story to F.B. Brothers Wild Horses version, which was released before the Stones original version as well.

Wild Horses - Sneaky Pete was in the Burritos.
I think the overdubbed part was the piano part, which was sent to Leon Russell to work his magic on.

I would add that Johnny Winter's first two albums, namely Johnny Winter and Second Winter highlight some amazing blues rock.
His third album with the remnants of the McCoys, christened And, isn't as bluesy as the first two. Although the album Johnny Winter And Live, which opens with Good Morning Little School Girl, where Jumpin Jack Flash is also covered, has some good bluesy moments, it is, predominantly, a heavy blues-rock album.
I would also add that Winter continued in the rock vein, with the odd not to the blues, i.e. Silver Train and Too Much Seconal, until he was given the honour of producing Muddy Waters' Hard Again. It was then that he reverted to playing more blues influenced material.
