This statement has to be further refined.
We will not say that once a gentile converted, retroactively all the actions he did in his life before the conversion, are to be defined as an action performed by a Jew. So for example, if that convert had "married" a Jewish woman before the conversion, that marriage would not be legally binding according to halacha, (religious law).
On the other hand, there is a viewpoint among Jewish sources, that even before the convert, converted he had a Jewish soul.
