No, the input manager doesn't currently work with Camino text widgets. 
I sure wish it did though.  Camino is open source, so it should 
conceivably be possible to figure out how to make the input manager get 
text out of Camino and back.  I'm not up to the task though.  It might 
not even be all that hard, but someone has to go talk to the Camino 
guys, or dive into Camino/Gecko source, and then figure out how to patch 
some stuff into the input manager (I believe it already has some special 
case stuff for Mail.app text widgets, so this would just be another 
special case).  Or maybe we can just lobby Allan about it ;)
