In the second round of 2017/18 Premier League season, Arsenal lost to Stoke City despite of having 77% possession. Does it set the record for the highest possession team losing the match? If not, which team is the record holder?

Not entirely sure if this is the record holder, but lowest that I could find is Celtic winning 2-1 against Barcelona in Champions League with just 16.36% possession meaning Barcelona lost with 83.64% possession.

And the match mentioned in question is not even the record for Premier League, that record belongs to Burnley's 19.4% win against Liverpool meaning Liverpool lost with 80.6% possession. (2)
