In[1]:=
str = "ab(c|d|e)fg(h|i)zx"
Out[1]=
"ab(c|d|e)fg(h|i)zx"

In[2]:=
strsplit = StringSplit[str,
    {"(", ")"}]
Out[2]=
{"ab", "c|d|e", "fg", "h|i",
   "zx"}

In[4]:=
Flatten[
   (If[StringPosition[#1,
        "|"] == {}, Characters[
       #1], #1] & ) /@
    strsplit]
Out[4]=
{"a", "b", "c|d|e", "f", "g",
   "h|i", "z", "x"}
