hello:) Geometry is not a problem with your code but you have
  a lot of bad white spaces and if you put a \hfill at hte end
  of the line, I suppose that you want :

<right>         hi         there!           <left>

try you code but like this:

without white spaces and with hfil instead of hfill


\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[left=1cm,right=1cm,top=1cm,bottom=1cm]{geometry}
\newcommand{\filltwo}[2]{\par\hfil#1\hfil{#2}\hfil}%
\begin{document}
	\parindent=0pt
   \begin{enumerate}
     \item In list:\par
     \hfil Hi\hfil there!\hfil%
     \item Also in list:%
     \filltwo{Hi}{there!}
   \end{enumerate}%
\par\hfil Hi\hfil there!\hfil%
\filltwo{Hi}{there!}%
\end{document}
