If you have imported with osm2pgsql or imposm then the answer is no, you can never go back to the original OSM file because metadata has been lost. You could possibly write code to generate a "pseudo" OpenSteetMap XML but how you would do that, and how useful it would be, depends on the data structure in your PostgreSQL and on what you want to do with the resulting OSM file.

yes, it's just a reverse of the write to api-db https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/Detailed_Usage_0.48#--read-apidb-current_.28--rdcur.29

Thanks Frederik for the insight, Also SK53 solution has allowed me to create an osm file from an API DB, for anyone who is looking for a command

sudo osmosis --read-apidb-current host="localhost" database="openstreetmap" user="xxxx" password="xxx" validateSchemaVersion="no" --write-pbf file="file path of where you want it saved and the file type /home/export.osm.pbf"
