You can do tag swapping and other fancy VLAN tricks in AirOS by creating VLAN subints and mapping them to each other using bridge interfaces. The Linux bridge interface behaves more like a switch than a "bridge" in that you can control mac aging, learning, etc so it doesn't blindly forward traffic.
