Yes.  I have an older 2.6/5.2GB DVD-RAM drive that has worked in Linux
since 1998.  That's because it uses the same design as older Panasonic
PD drives that have been supported for years.

But that's for "Rewrite" aka "random access" mode to DVD-RAM disks.

Can you "Record" aka "write once" to a DVD-R(G) disk (on a 3rd Gen
DVD-RAM drive) doing the same?
