Only if it is the 27 inch model. See the following for cable to use. It is a mini displayport-mini displayport cable.
Use your iMac as a display with Target Display Mode - Apple Support
so i wont be able to use my iMac 21,5" nor my MacBook 15" (both late 2009)??
Correct. The 2009, 21 1/2 inch iMac will not work as a display. Not MacBook Pros works as a display via Target Display Mode.
You can use Apple's built-in Screen Sharing screen sharing to control/use one Mac from another Mac.

If you do not have a fast network connection the lag will bother you.
