When using an aria-describedby property tag, does the associated id need to point to an available control.
For instance, if you have an aria-describedby with an id called 'errorMsg' ( aria-describedby='errorMsg' ), does a control called 'errorMsg' need to be on the page?

The described-by is in the control. The id it references is in the message.
<div id="error6" class="errors">Error: Please enter a valid date.</div>
<div>
<label for="test6">Date: </label>
<input type="text" name="test" id="test6" aria-describedby="error6 instructs6" />
