well assembly is technically “source code” and can be 1:1 translated to and from binary, excluding “syntactic sugar” stuff like macros and labels added on top.
The code is produced by the compiler but they are not the original source. To qualify as source code it needs to be in the original language it was written in and a one for one copy. Calling compiler produced assembly source code is wrong as it isn’t what the author wrote and their could be many versions of it depending on architecture.
No, it is wrong. Machine code is not source code.
And even if you had the source code it may not necessarily qualify as open source.

But those things you’re excluding are the most important parts of the source code…
