Why would you want to create collections by author? Both Kindles and Kobos can sort books by author.
That said, you can create collections on your Kobo by any calibre column you want. You just enter the column name in the Kobo driver settings in Calibre and when you send the books to your Kobo from Calibre, they'll be sorted into collections automatically.
For example, I use the custom column named "shelves" for my Kobo collections - it has the genre of the book and a couple of other custom values. So the books on my Kobos are in collections by those values. I guess you can use the author column for collections if you want.
