Yes. For all features common to bash* and grub-script, those features
should have the same syntax unless there is a pressing reason for them
not to (which is very rare and so if you notice any discrepancies
please file a bug report).

* Technically you asked about /usr/bin/[ from GNU Coreutils, which is
not bash, but '[' and 'test' are also builtin functions in bash, and
you'll get very similar results from "help test".
