Yes, they are. But in my opinion and regarding what I've noticed while 
working in the Mac OS X terminal, there are bigger problems then the 
keyboard commands.

One big issue is, that VoiceOver is not focusing the cursor possition 
all the times correctly. Try opening a file with vi and navigate in the 
file with arrow up and down to get spoken the current line. You will 
see, that VoiceOver sometimes reads the wrong line, sometimes the line 
above or below.

Then try to use a program like mutt, my favorite mail programm :-). 
There you also notice the focusing problems but also that VoiceOver is 
not able to track a softcursor, which is used in many of textbased 
tools.

Maybe the problems described above can be solved by changing some 
settings for VoiceOver or for the terminal, but I've not found out what 
needs to be changed :-(. But those both problems are the major show 
stoppers for a good terminal support in Mac OS in my opinion :-(.

Cheers,
