WBS is about what deliverables to be created and about achieving the project objectives

Decomposition is about how these deliverables are created and managed.

Else, you can read the definitions and understand and have more clarity.

WBS is Output (End Product)

Decomposition is Tool (To get the output)

It's like Pile of Woods(Output) of using Axe (Tool) on a big Stump o Tree Trunk (Input )

Decomposition is the process of subdividing, used as a TOOL for creation of WBS.

this tool is used in two process to create WBS and to create Activity list.
