I wanted to know if there was an rules that would allow for creating useful items that aren't magical.
Having a smoke-stick that activates as a swift action. One time use only, similar to blade boot, taping a "delicate" flask of a pint of oil and alchemist fire, so that one square could burn for longer and does not need to be ignited.
Putting an oiled rag on the tip of an arrow and lighting it to create a fire arrow, much like how they worked in real life, as appose to paying 50 gold for alchemy fire crossbow bolts.
Are there official guide lines to this like there are for creating magical times and intelligent weapons, or not?

I think it is GM dependant.
Your first example, I would say (swift action smoke-stick) "No, not allowed." as it is stronger than a Ninja smoke bomb trick.
Oil + alchemist fire: "Yes"
Burning arrow "Yes, but with a far reduced chance of starting a fire".
So it depend on your GM and how your group like to manage that kind of options. No official rule for doing that kind of manoeuvres, AFAIK.
