If we are talking about here in Australia, yes every death is reported and accounted for.
It regards to the global statistics, it doesn't matter as long as the method of collecting them is consistent then the count remains valid.
Writing a death certificate and reporting a death are two different things..
It is a cause of death certificate not a comorbidity certificate.
Incidental diseases or medical conditions that the patient had but did not cause or contribute to the death
should not be included on a ‘death certificate but often they are when the cause of death is not verifiable without an autopsy and not every death that appears on a coroners inbox will get that far especially with the clogged waiting lists.
