They can barely make a dent in botting, it's gotten too well done. At this point real players are getting banned because Jagex has such a difficult time differentiating between them and botters.
Is there open world pvp in OSRS? And if yes, do the bots respond to attacks from other players automatically?
You wouldn't be able to tell if they were custom.
But I can tell you that they could, and would. They would lose to above average players, they might beat average players, they could probably manage to scare off uncertain players.
Source: Without any scripting language and using just ingame tools in the training mode of Fighting Games, I can make 'bots' (to use in those training modes) that newbies can't beat, and I do this just by using the correct action-flow and action-hide theory.
