Yes, to some degree. If all you did was squat patterns your whole lifting career (squats, leg press, etc) and you measured your calves day 1 and 5 years in they would have undoubtedly grown. However, I will give you a golden piece of advice: If a muscle is involved but not the prime mover (quads in a hack squat being the prime mover, glutes adductors and calves all secondary and likely recruited in that order) do not expect that lift to provide a meaningful stimulus. If you want to get the absolute best growth for a muscle you must isolate. What you choose to isolate will be goal dependent. If you want to maximize arm development would you rely solely on bench press and rows? no. I think the same is true for muscles like calves, forearms, traps, etc.

Not really. All they do is stabilize during squats.

People should be doing eccentric loading for calves regardless to help increase ankle mobility and strengthen the achilles tendon.

I just started lifting, focusing on heavy squats one day a week, over this last winter. I already had pretty thick calfs from running, hiking, and being a moderately fat dad who carries heavy shit all the time. I did see solid calf growth over the winter, but I was also using the leg press machine to do weighted calf raises. My anecdotal evidence says squats are good for calves and you should do them.
