Hello,

can we use pro/program or any other method to hide/unhide layers as per the input we are giving  in Creo 3D model?

Layer status files can be loaded, and they save layer status information. This would be one option to configure layers by reading in a file. If you are able to predefine the layer states needed, then this would be an efficient way to control the display.

Is it possible to load the file thru Pro/Program?

I don't think Pro/Program supports this. Perhaps someone else can definitively confirm this. You can use one of the APIs or even a mapkey to load the file(s). Explain what you are attempting to accomplish in more detail as that will enable suggestions to be made on possible solutions.

Not sure if this meets your needs, but have you tried this? In View Manager, you can save different Layer states and then switch between them:
