Yes, but still based on the UID, on root having all access, and so on. And 
as far as I can tell, no per-file encryption, no inherited permissions.

For example, when I can unplug a USB drive off one Unix system and plug it 
into a different one and Fred (uid 1002) can't get to Jane's files (also uid 
1002) on the USB drive, I'll be pleasantly surprised. Is there anything 
already in Linux or whatever to make that work?

Does the Linux equivalent of "active directory" (which was Kerberos last I 
looked) interact with the local file system well?
