This exists as a feature on iOS

You can long press on an image and it cuts out whatever thing it thinks you're pressing on

They also use it in interesting ways, like making stuff in the photo slightly overlap the clock on the lockscreen

Does anyone know if that works the same way as this?

This is: understand everything in the image as elements, subject or whatever.

It would still be nice if iOS had some kind of interface like this where you can nudge it in the right direction if it's confusing something like a jacket and the background. iOS gives its best attempt which is usually pretty good, but if it didn't get it right you're basically SOL.
