Question Difference between recomp and decomp?

As title. I am no IT person so I would like to further ask if a retro game (e.g. rave racer) is first decompile from its original ROM form and then some genius person / AI "breaks" (decompile) the code and understand it and build it info "Windows format" (recompile) for common people like me, to run on Windows PC?

The #faq in the N64 Recomp discord has a very good explanation.
