In any physical experiment, the observer measurements
are bound by the
instruments and frames of reference. In the twin's thought experiment,
acceleration is not needed to explain the result (a simple x-t diagram
will make everything quite clear). Of course, acceleration and braking
will help both twins to determine who is really making the travel, but
has nothing to do with the clocks reading different when the travel
ends.

Reference frames are imaginary so they don't affect
instruments.

No .. they let you measure and observe them
