There is no aspirin in opium, and there is no opium in aspirin. Opiates and opioids act by blocking pain receptors in the central nervous system and do not contain any NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which include aspirin and ibuprofen). Aspirin and other non-narcotic drugs do not act on the central nervous system. Instead, they help relieve pain by reducing swelling/inflammation, hindering pain chemicals (prostaglandins), and bringing down fevers. It is worth noting that a combination of aspirin and opium works better to relieve pain than giving these two medicines separately.
