I totally agree John. In fact that is why I said to let her play what's comfortable to her. That C to G chord progression could also go from C-E-G to B-D-G or as you wrote D-G-B. A lot would depend on the chord following the G. Most musician's have their favorite inversions or shapes (in the case of guitarists).
It wasn't so much noting c(4) as a notation of 1-3-5 more like as a note as to where the frequency range should be centered-- It could be CEG or GCE or even EGC. A pianist most probably won't interpret chords like guitar players. Guitar players rely on "shapes" or "grips", pianists incorporate "voice leading" because, for one thing, it's much easier on piano to do that. If they don't, they should, but I can't imagine they wouldn't, it's part of the chord learning process, to play logical inversions. I play both instruments, and that is what I do for each.
