I can't speak of intent, but in the first film she was played by a black actress. When she was upgraded from background character to talking roles character, they swapped her out for a white actress.
They never mentioned Lavender Brown's race in the books, so in the first few movies, where she was a minor character mentioned a few times, she was played by a black actress. But when she had more of a role, she was changed to white.

The other token black character was literally called Kingsley Shacklebolt, so yes, yes of course she did.
The token Asian girl is named Cho Chang.
