Native speaker’s answer

Yes, in this case, "damn" is an adverb used for emphasis or to express anger towards something. "Darn" is a nicer way of saying "damn", and can often be used as an exclamation word by itself. Ex: That darn cat is always bringing mud into the house. Ex: I left my phone at home, darn! Ex: Darn! I forgot to say goodbye to her.
