What is that does this mean?
I didn’t do anything any decent person wouldn’t have done.
Decent in this sentence is similar to: good, honest, trustworthy
Meaning of the sentence: What I did, any good person would have also done it.
In other uses, decent can mean "to be wearing clothes". Ex. When entering someone elses room you might ask prior to opening the door, "Are you decent?" = Are you wearing clothes and can I enter?

"Just like any decent person, I did the right thing." Meaning: I didn't do any special or out of the ordinary.

It depends if the sentence is "sarcastic."
If the sentence was said sarcastically then it means:
I did something evil.
If the sentence was NOT said sarcastically then it means:
I did something good.
