If a version is dated before the existence of the faith, you can be assured those versions are in err. For example, Martin Luther was born in 1483 (9 years before Christopher Columbus sailed to America). It is hard to believe that the Lutheran faith would adopt a version of the Apostles Creed that predated the Lutheran faith's conception by over 3 and ½ centuries.

The Apostles Creed is commonly thought to have developed from Regla Fidei, ( Rule of faith) a brief summary of Christian belief thought to be associated with Baptism. These rules of faith can be traced back to at least the 2nd century, and hints of them appear even earlier, such as in Ignatius (d. 110).
It was adapted and used by Various Religions over time, regardless of when it was first written.
So yes Lutherans as did some other Religions use the Version which contains the words ' He descended into Hell ' some missed this out.....
Hope that helps your confusion.
BTW, Lutherans use the Three Creeds in their Worship...... All predate their Denomination.
' Next, which versions of the Apostles Creed are accurate to a particular faith? '
None as they are Adapted to suit.... They sometimes change over time, as did the Roman Catholic Version....
