yeah, it will work for all supported attack types supported by --slow-candidates (-S), (-a 0, -a 1, -a 3).
The most important thing though, is to get a clear picture on when to use brain and when to use some distributed overlays like hashtopolis... these approaches can't be compared and of course are not the same.
Distributed hash cracking is normally performed with some 3rd party tools like hashtopolis, while when you are trying to keep track of all the performed work on a certain hash (or hash list) which uses very slow hashing algorithm, you might consider using brain... They are very different and you shouldn't confuse one with the other
btw: hashtopolis allows using brain, as far as I know (and here it gets a little bit complicated to make the distinction, but it also proofs that distributing work is a layer above or let's say a different approach)
