LibreCad is a Cross-platform Open-source 2D CAD, so I guess no, points are not 3D points.

I usually import points from ascii files in the form of
Number,Xvalue,Yvalue,Zvalue  like

100             ,     100.000,     100.000,   100.000, 0              
101             ,      47.183,      59.070,   122.316, 0              
102             ,      77.196,      31.408,   122.178, 0              
103             ,      84.496,      23.883,   121.862, 0              
and so on

What I get when I import those points from an ascii file is:

Number converted to a string displayed next to the point
X converted to the X value of the point
Y converted to the Y value of the point
Z converted to a string displayed next to the point

Sometimes, and depending of the needed result, I transpose and recompute those points before importing to LibreCAD in order to get the projection of a facade in the plane of draw, but inside LibreCad they continue to be 2D points
