Hi: Ok, given this limitation of deferred execution custom actions, how in mu custom action definition in wix source can I only schedule the custom action to execute if a component is being acted upon. Essentially, what value does the component state equal when a rollback is occurring? Any help appreciated.

Deferred custom actions ( including commit and rollback ) can't access component state API's. They can only access what was serialized to them through the CustomActionData property. I think your question might indicate a misconception on how it all works. During the script generation phase the script is generated and it's only during the script execution phase that the operations are executed and a rollback occurs if needed.
