No, Saint Augustine of Hippo's body is not incorrupt.
The Catholic Church makes no supernatural claims about incorruptibility. It is recognized that there are many possible natural causes for a body to not undergo decay. It may be considered during the canonization process but is not a deciding factor. If such were the case, then there are hundreds of natural mummies around the world who should be considered as saints, including many Inca burials in the Andes of South America.
When a body of a candidate for sainthood is discovered to be incorrupt during the canonization process, relics are usually removed and made available to the faithful for veneration. Thus, there are numerous relics available of St. Bernadette, Saint John Vianney, Saint Vincent de Paul and others.

Is it true that the before well preserved mummified body of Saint Francis Xavier who died Saturday 03 December 1552 on the Chinese island Sancian is now deteriorating?
I have heard nothing specific about the body of Francis Xavier. However, it is not unusual for an incorrupt body to begin to deteriorate after it is removed from its original burial location. In the vast majority of cases of incorruptibility, there is no supernatural or miraculous intervention. Certain soil conditions, water composition, relative humidity and ambient temperatures can prevent or slow a body from decomposing. That is why the Church does not use incorruptibility as a factor in the canonization process. Perhaps one of the best known cases of incorruptibility is that of St. Bernadette of Lourdes. When her body was exhumed several years after her death it was found in an almost perfect state of preservation. However, a few years later when it was again exhumed, the body had begun to undergo decomposition. Before the body was placed on display in the current location, it underwent a thorough cleaning and preservation process. The hands and face were badly marred so were covered with wax to make them look more natural and to hide the ravages of time and nature.
