a switch will do what you need but a hub is all you need. Switches and
Hub are getting to the point where they are considered the same thing by
many people but a switch technically knows where to send packets and can
move packets even to sub-nets, all you need is a hub that just "splits"
your connection into multiple connection. In the old days switches cost
more than hubs because they actually did some work inside, nowdays they
look the same and probably cost the same.
Short answer, is yes, you just run one cable to the room connect your
hub/switch and connect multiple devices.
