I do not know the answer either, and plan on picking one up to train with. However, here is some info that seems to imply that it does use the standard Cisco Pix Command Line Interface.
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/pcat/fw.htm Note how it says minimum software version 6.1(1). As for, will it help you for higher level Pixes, yes it should. However, one key feature that is not available on the 501 and 506 is there is not fail over. Configuring failover and stateful failover is not really difficult, but it is something totally new if you just trained from a 501, 506, or lone 515.
