First of all, the term "waiver" comes up in Immigration law more than once and, in more than one case the term is related to a visa. Most commonly, "visa waiver" and "waiver of inadmissibility."

There is a difference between a visa waiver and a waiver of inadmissibility. A visa waiver applies when a qualifying alien comes to the United States without formally applying for a waiver at a US consulate.

You have to apply for a waiver/pardon since you have a deportation record. If you are accepted that waiver/pardon, then you can apply for a visa. However, being approved for a waiver/pardon does not guarantee the visa approval and, similarly, having a visa in your passport does not guarantee your entry into that country.
