One of them yes.
Actually the Council of Carthage ratified the decisions at the Synod of Hippo and awaited ratification from the "Church across the sea" (I,e, Rome)
Actually Augustine only attended a few of the Synod of Hippo's meetings, and the Councils of Carthage were presided over by Marcellinus of Carthage.
Do you have the quote from Augustin by chance?
They were trying to decide what was scripture from among the large number of books in use. The NT was pretty well formulated at this time, but the OT canon still varied widely from region to region, as can be seen by the fact that every Apostolic Church uses a different OT canon to this day. The only OT canon that was universally accepted by all the Apostolic Churches was the 73 book Catholic OT canon.
I'm not sure where you've been looking but Jerome translated and included the Deuterocanonical books in the Vulgate. Now Jerome did doubt the authenticity of someof the Deuterocanonical books (he accepted Judith for example), but he translated and included them in the Vulgate. But whether he actually doubted them or not is somewhat up in the air, since later Jerome said he was simply relating the views of the Jews and not his personal views.
"What sin have I committed if I followed the judgment of the churches? But he who brings charges against me for relating the objections that the Hebrews are wont to raise against the story of Susanna, the Son of the Three Children, and the story of Bel and the Dragon, which are not found in the Hebrew volume (ie. canon), proves that he is just a foolish sycophant. For I wasn't relating my own personal views, but rather the remarks that they [the Jews] are wont to make against us" (Against Rufinus 11:33 [A.D. 402]).
