The distributor drive connects to the end of the exhaust cam shaft. So it does provide info about the cam position as well as distributing the ignition charge. The ECU knows the fireing angle from the crankshaft postion. But at startup, something is needed to let the ECU know where the camshaft is relative to the crank, or visa-versa. So it is a combo unit.
So what the problem, why did you get diagnostics done at all? The crankshaft sensor did not fail as you drove there? That code is a range error, not a non-function error. You might inspect the connectors to the harness so see if things there are clean and tight.
