Yes, the terminal is treated as just another application so far as VoiceOver is 
concerned.

It’s a feature of the shell that completes partially typed commands and file 
names. For example, if you had a directory named “documents” and you typed 
“do”, then pressed the tab key, it would complete the rest of the name - 
assuming that there are no other names beginning with “do”. Typically, pressing 
the tab key twice gives you a list of names that match.
