Yes, the NIRCam images in the article are from the Webb telescope.

The implication by the presence of "Europa Carbon Dioxide Distribution" (NIRCam and NIRSpec IFU) images on the NASA release is that yes, it can.

There’s an image of Europa from Webb in the article.

The article is very precise:
"Both teams identified the carbon dioxide using data from the integral field unit of Webb’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec). This instrument mode provides spectra with a resolution of 200 x 200 miles (320 x 320 kilometers) on the surface of Europa, which has a diameter of 1,944 miles, allowing astronomers to determine where specific chemicals are located."
