In fact. You don't need to rebind the key sequence.
Because c-w is a no-op when region selection is not activated.

so.. we can...

(defun backward-delete-word-if-not-in-region ()
  "hooker, backward-kill-word when nothing in selection"
  (interactive)
  (if (equal mark-active nil)
      (backward-kill-word 1)
    (kill-region (point) (mark-marker))))
(global-set-key "\C-w" 'backward-delete-word-if-not-in-region)
