Not necessarily. You are assuming that for a given cable movement at the shifter, the mech is going to move the same amount irrespective of the make and model but this is not always so.
For example;
On one of my bikes, I currently use a combination of 10 speed road Shimano shifters, 10 speed Shimano MTB cassette and a 9 speed Shimano MTB rear mech which all work together but if I tried it with a 10 speed MTB mech, it wouldn’t work as the Shimano altered the shift ratio between road and MTB groupsets when they moved to 10 speed.
I’m not familiar with Campagnolo shift ratios but as the OP wants to use friction shifting, it’s not really a problem.
