If affected by the OBS of a runner or as a result of a delayed or incorrect call/ruling, yes.

Second question (slightly off topic): If an OBS runner touches a base BEFORE the OBS award is given, does that count as touching awarded bases? Or are they required to touch after the award is granted/announced?

No, with the exception of returning to touch a based missed or left too soon, once the runner has touched the base, it is considered touched.
