No, it doesn't.  When I type a close brace in emacs, I get the
corresponding line where the matching brace matches (hilited if
visible in the page, or in the modeline if not).
When I position myself next to a brace, I get the same hiliting
happening.  Can't recall if that's a feature of hilite or the electric
mode of emacs.
However, whenever I type "end" to close a block, I have NO clue where
the block begins.  And if it is code I did not write, not knowing
where the code begins is a killer.
Being emacs, I *could* potentially hack the lisp code to handle do/end
blocks properly (or indentation too).  I haven't seen anyone do it yet
(and publically give it away).
