A Mary Sue is about a character type/personality, the application of the character is a very non-consequential part of what defines a Mary Sue.
No OC, or fanfiction for that matter, is written or approved by the creators of the pre-existing world. There are publications that 'continue' a long dead story that are considered as part of the canon, often this happens long after the original creator has passed away or are generally left unconsulted on the matter. Over specifying a character type by this sort of clause which has no baring on the actual personality/situation of the character doesn't actually change the definition of what a Mary Sye is. It passes more as an example than a rule.

There have been characters added to the cast in the middle/end of a series that absolutely qualify as a Mary Sue, like Mini-Moon for example. (which would technically pass the 'introduced into an pre-existing world' rule if that needs to apply)
It's about the purpose and personality, being perfect and talented, misunderstood with often a tragic past which only makes everyone love them all the more that defines what a Mary Sue is. Like any trope it can be applied to whatever character fits the description, being an OC has nothing to do with that.
