Sorry if any of this was confusing.

The CMUcam II (fyi, not "CIM Camera"
) is provided to all teams as part of the Kit Of Parts. As such, you can use it in whatever manner you wish, just as you would any other KOP element. As a KOP element, it would not be considered a custom circuit (unless you modify it), so it would not be restricted by the custom circuit rules with respect to driving servos directly from the CMUcam II circuit board.
