The choice was to generally follow deobfuscated java minecraft code, so in terms of design and behaviour of the code, mostly yes. Just note that some things might not match 1:1 with previously known APIs, due to the following reasons:

• it's made in rust, so some things differ naturally (like traits vs. interfaces, composition vs. inheritance, for example)
• it's heavily designed around multi-threading and performance, whereas the original is mostly single-threaded and java also is way less efficient than rust in terms of ram usage (which leads to different design)
• it's 2026, whereas the codebase of the minecraft server started in 2009 (yes, afaik even in singleplayer, what really happens is that you join an instance of a local server) + bukkit was started around 2010, so of course we might upgrade some stuff later down the line
• in some areas, for example the plugin api, afaik alex doesn't feel the need to always follow the design choices of previous apis, because in some cases that wouldn't be idiomatic, or optimal, or modern
• plus going too far would probably infringe some licenses
