Can you swap one for the other?

No. Milk and camphor are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common

More than half of camphor's flavor molecules (11 of 21) also occur in milk. Among the shared key aromas are eucalyptol (eucalyptus, herbal) and eugenol (clove, spicy). So the pairing rests more on how cooks use them than on shared aroma. Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
