or will we have to do the calculations outside of LV vision?

NI vision library is primarily for planar shapes. Typically chips on a board, or other bits of an object being manufactured. Additionally, the camera image is simply a 2D matrix of light intensities. Determining the difference between a scene of 3D objects, and a printed poster of the same scene is difficult even for humans, much more difficult for computers.
So if you are clever about how you use it, yes, you can use vision to measure things about the image and to interpret it in 3D. But no, it doesn't automatically infer 3D information from a camera image.
