Yeah, it's identical, see here:

cd is frequently included built directly into the command line interpreter. This is the case in most of the Unix shells (Bourne shell, tcsh, bash, etc.), cmd.exe and Windows PowerShell on Windows and COMMAND.COM on DOS.

-1 because cd is subtly different on Windows/DOS compared to Linux, and the OP question was about a specific option which doesn't work on the windows version. – Joseph Rogers – 2016-11-03T10:38:26.063

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.
