Thanks , can i use Cordova in Ionic PWA?

No. Cordova Plugins use native device code (Swift, JAVA) to perform their functions.

Thank you very much

only option in PWA to access camera is through HTML5?

Yes. In the end a PWA is just a web app (enhanced with service workers). The same limitations you have in a browser are still there.
