It's hard to comment without more precise examples/use cases.

is future package do automatically asychronous execution of my r code OR should i include later package?

plan(multisession)
f <- future({ your R expression })

will evaluate that R expression in the background. The later package, or rather the promises package, can be used to retrieve the value(f) automatically.

And is there any multi-threaded package in R?

Multi-threading is only available when using native code, e.g. C and C++. It's not available at the R level.
