Question: In the Olympic Games, if a decathlon athlete?
happens to beat the time, or distance, of say the 100 meters or the long jump attained by the winner of the corresponding official event at the same Olympics, does his time or distance count for the said event?

No, combined event results do not factor into open events.
The times in any round do not go forward to the finals, so someone could set a world record in the prelims and not win the finals.
The athletes must be competing against one another.
To my knowledge no decathlete has had a better result than the winner of the same event in the open competition at the Olympics.
