2005 Toyota Caldina driveshafts

Yes—driveshafts are fitted to the 2005 Toyota Caldina. Technical references that cover this include the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalog for the T24 series (2002–2007), which lists left and right front drive shaft (CV axle) assemblies for the FWD models and, on AWD variants (ST246), a propeller shaft plus rear drive shafts.

On that basis, driveshafts are absolutely relevant to the 2005 Caldina.
