Yes. You have 2 wires (plus ground) coming from the previous switch in the circuit and 2 wires (plus ground) going to the next switch in the circuit. If you have a neutral, or if you have a switch leg, which would be the conductor from the last switch in the circuit to the equipment being powered, you will need 3 or 4 conductors (plus ground).

If there are two black and one white wire in ceiling light do I need to use both black for the switch to work?

If there are two black wires, it's possible that it was wired for a ceiling fan and that one of the wires is for the fan part while the other is for the light part. If so, one of the black wires may be switched while the other is always "on." Normally black is "hot" and white is "neutral" (NOT ground... ground is usually green).
