On wix websites there are these buttons they can be used to download (images videos etc) but i was wondering can a rpg maker game be downloaded from one of the buttons or is the file type for rpg maker games compatible with those buttons?

that depends in what "wix" is. You can't expect us to know every hosting system out there, especially if you don't give a link to them.

that said, a windows version deployment can be compressed into a archive, and that can be uploaded and downloaded almost anywhere.
A HTML5-based deployment however needs to be uploaded uncompressed into a folder on a webserver, and then it can be linked there.
This requires folder and webadress access, which is not automatically available for a website that uses a content-managing-system. So if this unkown "WIX" uses a CMS and denies you direct access, then there is a chance that it can't be used for web-deployment.

Yes and no. I have a Wix website so I know a little about this. The below assumes the service hasn't enormously changed since the last time I worked on it.

You can compress your game into a zip and allow users to download it; though if your game is of reasonable size, you'll definitely need to be a paying user.

You can't host an HTML5 game that way. However, you can try hosting it on itch.io, and embedding it on your site from there. That may work. I ended up just having my games on itch.io and not bothering with Wix, as it was easier.
