The A/S interface is essentially a synchronous interface, but can be turned into an asynchronous interface via "physical-layer async" command. So, yes you can connect the routers back-to-back.

The Cisco 2522 seems to be a great for Frame Relay switch if I can use crossover cable with the A/S serial ports. However, I am not sure if the A/S will be acting exactly the same as the synchronous serial port? Can I connect these asynchromous serial port to a synchronous serial port on a 2501 router using crossover cable? Thanks all in advance!
