Suppose I attempt to cast a spell (any spell) and opponent casts Counter Spell targeting it, I can respond with Veil of Summer thus canceling his Counter Spell correct?
Now suppose it's the scenario except I have Orim's Chant instead of Veil of Summer. That does not stop his Counter Spell correct?
You are correct that Orim's Chant does not stop a spell that has already been cast, however I believe some clarification is required for the first point. Your spell will not be countered, but the Counterspell is not stopped. Anything else that the counter would have done still happens (ex. Spell Swindle will still make treasure tokens, Absorb will still gain them 3 life, etc.)

[c]Counterspell[/c] -> Counterspell
It will still resolve, but won't counter anything.

Orim's Chant forbids the target from casting spells (and declaring attackers if kicked). It does not try to interfere with spells resolving.
