Silly me but I thought by using Canon OC-E3 cable, it allows you to get higher shutter speed above 5D II of 200 and 7D of 250 on manual mode.....

Or am I wrong?

Yes and No....
The cord itself doesn't allow for HSS but you can set your "Flash" for HSS and now you will have HSS but, now have your Flash off of the Camera.

It just extends the hotshoe, and it doesnt change sync speed unless you have the flash set in HSS.

Yep, like everyone else already said, it does nothing but allow you to get the flash off the camera a little bit. Otherwise the flash should function exactly like it normally does when attached to the hotshoe directly.
