HID is used in conjunction of USB input devices (USB mice, USB keyboards, ...). CONFIG_INPUT only gives you an API where you can process input events with. For instance, look at the atkbd.c, sunkbd.c or lkkbd.c drivers. They all send key strokes into the Input API (activated by CONFIG_INPUT), but none of them actually uses USB (but the PS/2 keyboard port or normal serial ports with non-standard plugs).
