I face a confusion whether a member of editorial board of a research journal also serve as a reviewer of a submitted manuscript? What is the international standards?
Of course, they can! The exception is when they submit their own paper and when there is a conflict of interest with another fellow!

Yes they can and difficulty sometimes in getting reviewers means that they have too. As already suggested board members don't review own papers and usually other board members papers
Sometimes to speed up the process or simply because of the reviewer deficiency, members of the editorial boards can be also in the role of reviewers.
