what you are asking is who invented the electric guitar. not the guitar pickup. without the pickup its just a piece of wood.
With a guitar pickup one can turn an acoustic guitar into an electric guitar. They use string vibrations generated from playing and turn it into electric current.
No, it doesn't quite work like that. You can get a pickup for acoustics but not like a humbucker out of say, a Gibson Les Paul.
the only way to hook rock-smith to a acoustic guitar is to buy a pickup that mounts into the sound hole. this requires drilling a hole in the guitar for the female jack that is on most electric guitar's so you can plug in a cord. the pickup is wired to the female jack that is installed.
An acoustic pickup is used to amplify an acoustic guitar. Instead of amplifying an acoutic guitar's sound via a microphone, an acoustic pickup can be mounted on the guitar over the soundhole to provide sound amplification.

You may have to route a new hole in your guitar to fit the pickup you want inserted, or have it done for you professionally (Advisable!!). Put the pickup in place and wire it to the volume pot, which should connect to the tone pot and then to the output jack of the guitar. Alternatively, if there is space, usually if you have a higher action on your guitar, you could simply screw the pickup to the body/pick guard and the wire it up (or the other way round).

The pickup in Van Halen's Frankenstein guitar is an original PAF from a Gibson ES-335. So a good vintage output humbucker should get you close.
