Yes, that's right. It's kind of a formal way to say "choose a person who will do a task." Some people use it in informal situations in a joking way, like "I'm going to designate my husband to pay for dinner." "Designate" is used in its adjective form, "designated" in a few set phrases. The most common is "designated driver," which means a person who goes out with friends but doesn't drink alcohol, so that they can drive the group of friends home later.
