The term "imperium" basically means a command or an order. In the republic, any magistrate who had the right to give an order had imperium. These were praetors and the counsuls and a dictator if there were one.

Roman emperor Augustus order a census of the Roman empire?

He more than likely did order a census. In republican Rome a census was taken every five years, or at least it was supposed to be taken. Augustus continued the traditions of the republic as far as possible. If you are referring to the census mentioned in the New Testament, that was not ordered by Augustus himself, but by the governor of Syria, who had imperium, on behalf of the Jewish priests. An official with imperium acted in the name of the emperor--his orders were the same as being issued by the emperor himself.
