Yes. The camshaft operates valves that permit air entry to the cylinder, and exhaust exit from the cylinder. Many modern engines have two camshafts, one for the inlet and one for the exhaust.

What was the design of camshaft in old diesel engine?

If it was a 4 stroke OHV diesel it was similar to gas OHV engines. They made 2 stroke diesels as well (Detroit Diesel's V series i.e. 6v-92) which still used a camshaft. SOHC and DOHC orientations were not prevalent on old diesels. 2 valves per cylinder was most common but not the only style.
