Oxygen diffuses from any place there is a lot of it to any place where there is less. In the body, it diffuses from the air in the alveoli of the lungs, through the lung and capillary walls and into the blood, where it is taken up by the haemoglobin of the red blood cells. When the bood reaches the body tissues it diffuses out of the blood and into the cells.

No, oxygen cannot directly diffuse across a cell membrane. Instead, it crosses the cell membrane with the help of specific transport proteins, such as aquaporins and oxygen channels. These proteins facilitate the movement of oxygen from areas of high concentration to low concentration.
