Are you implying that arming Osama bin Laden was essential to bringing down Communism, that somehow otherwise we’d still be dealing with a USSR today if we hadn’t?

No. Are you implying that it was irrelevant to bringing down Communism?

That's correct. The withdrawal of Soviet forces would have eventually happened anyway, as happened with every previous - and which will inevitably happen with one subsequent - empire that attempted to control it.
