It is what distinguishes Christianity, from say Mad Mo Religion, which has belief that the Koran exists in arabic in a pre existent, archetype form.

Correct. The Koran in Islam takes the place of Jesus in Christianity

Sunni, Shia and Ibadi (but not Ismaili I think) believe that the Koran was not created but pre-existed before creation, so it takes the place of Jesus in their religion.

The correspondence for the Bible is the Hadith and Sirah

Simply that the written word speaks about the Word but is not the Word. It is to be revered, but it is not the subject or relic to worshipped in and of itself. -- yes!!

"Simply that the written word speaks about the Word but is not the Word. It is to be revered, but it is not the subject or relic to worshipped in and of itself. -- yes!! "

But the standard that defines who is worth of worship must itself by wholly inspired by the same.

And aside from Himself, you will not find any revelation, writing or institution or created being exalted and used and invoked BY GOD like as Scripture is.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. (Psalms 138:2)

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. (Psalms 19:7-11)

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Joshua 1:8)

And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan. And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it. (2 Chronicles 34:15-16) And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes. And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king’s, saying, Go, enquire of the Lord for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to do after all that is written in this book. (2 Chronicles 34:19-21)

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4)" Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. (Matthew 4:7) Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (Matthew 4:10)

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. (Matthew 22:29)

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:27)

And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, (Luke 24:44-45)
