I own several copies of bedrock but none of java. Can I download and play these old java versions without needing to buy a new copy?

@nucleative If one of those copies you own is on the Microsoft Store for Windows 10/11, you should already own the Java edition as well, courtesy of Microsoft themselves. Just open the official launcher (or a custom, community launcher like MultiMC, Modrinth App or Prism Launcher) and select the version you wanna play
