You seem to be confused about what ASIC miner does. It is actually computationally demanding to calculate a hash. Yes, ASIC miners calculate sha256 hashes. Now imagine a machine that can do 100 trilion of those per second. Each hash trying with a different nonce, until a solution is found by chance. Only then the solution (a constructed block) gets submited to the network.
