Dr's are not going to say that person who was asymptomatic but was infected with covid-19 died of it if there was something else. However they are going to record that the person was infected because that information is useful for later medical/epidemiological research.

However there is also a good chance that even if covid-19 isn't the only contributor to a person's death. For example a person with heart disease can extract enough O2 from the air to live but because of there disease they are below the normal human amount. Then comes along covid-19 with futher reduces their body's effectiveness and the person doesn't have enought air to live.
