Best Answer
  1. Yes.
  2. Concentration camps were labor camps. The exceptions were the extermination camps (Auschwitz II - extermination section only), Belzec - not to be confused with Bergen-Belsen, Chelmno, Sobibor, Majdanek (part only), Treblinka II, Maly Trostinets (near Minsk, Belarus): these aimed to kill newly arrived Jews within 12-48 hours of arrival.
  3. In addition, there were also labor camps mainly for foreign workers kdinapped from areas like Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. Conditions were harsh (sometimes very harsh) but these were not concentration camps. In 1939-41, when the Nazi regime was still trying to decide what to do with the Jews, some were sent to such camps, but most were later sent on to extermination camps.

So, a reasonably full answer is quite complicated.
