Is it possible to share the internet connection between two computers by plugging dsl modem into the switch without plugging into the computer and then sharing the internet through the switch to which two computers are connected?

Yes is possible, connect the DSL modem to the switch at the principal port or WAN port and the computers to the other port or LAN ports.

As long as the DSL modem supports NAT, you can use a switch.
