Yes, it works similar and it is possible to configure Ether-Channels that are active on both stack-members. What is not available compared to the Cat9500 VSS is dual active detection on an additional link.
BTW: Today I would likely not buy the pair of MS425 but instead a pair of 9500s. They can be added to the Meraki dashboard and eventually also be cloud managed.
