Does it support importing photos directly from camera on Windows?

Yes, it's one of the main use cases.

"You can use digiKam’s import capabilities to easily transfer photos, raw files, and videos directly from your camera and external storage devices (SD cards, USB disks, etc.). The application allows you to configure import settings and rules that process and organize imported items on-the-fly."

That's only on Linux via the gphoto2 library. Looks like the bugs for Windows are still open.

On Windows you can currently only import from a camera that implements USB mass storage protocol (meaning pretty much no mainstream Android phones which only have MTP and PTP so there isn't a mounted drive letter path).
