Is decomposition reaction a chemical reaction?
It depends on the nature of the decomposition. if you are talking about biodegradeability in a substance, then no, its decomposition is mainly due to bacteria that will break down the various particles in the substance ("eat" them). There are, however certain chemical reactions which take place within the bacteria as the substance is being broken down, (much like those that happen in the human body) and the possibility of there being other products in the vicinity which may react to the substance (and degrade it) is always present. It could be said that decomposition is therefore a chemical reaction (or rather a series thereof), but with biodegradeability in mind it is not generally thought of as such.
