??? I'm confused. You wrote you want to have unmodified
encoded message in a buffer, but here you wrote decoding is
ok.
What's the difference in decodings that happen before and
after the characters being inserted the buffer?

Actually yes (conceptually), why not?

If what you concern is the buffer modified flag, you can
reset that by set-buffer-modified-p. If what you concern is
the undo list, you can also set buffer-undo-list to nil.
That is what insert-file-contents does when called with
VISIT arg as t.
