Spelled with a hyphen, self-centered is one word.
You could say that two words have been combined to form a single compound word. Careful writers and editors would probably argue that, in words like this, the hyphen is necessary to help the reader to grasp the writer's intention rapidly.
It is common nowadays to see many words written without hyphens that traditionally did have them. While words beginning self- are probably not ambiguous in a sentence, some compound words can look and sound strange or even misleading.
