Yes, they have a very basic form of "lung"; this is no more than a moist cavity within the mantel into which air is drawn through the pneumostome (opening in its side). The oxygen is then absorb through a mucous membrane into the body.

Squids doesn't have lungs, they have a structure that does the same thing as the gills do for fish, take up oxygen from the water. W/o lungs, the idea of holding their breath becomes a bit strange. The closest comparison - how long a squid can go w/o new water over its gills - I have no idea.

Are garden snails and pond snails the same?
While both types of snails are mollusks, gastropods, to be more specific, the land snails have developed lungs to be able to breathe on land. Aquatic snails have gills, special organs that remove oxygen from the water. For this reason, land snails will drown if left in a bucket of water that they cannot escape from. Aquatic snails do not have the thick slime that land snails have and will quickly dry out,( if they do not suffocate first) when left out of the water.
