I think that is exactly how it works. On the Vita I can put it in standby mode while playing or after pausing a game, the game will continue from where I left off. The feature is much more useful on a handheld due to its pick up and play nature but even on home consoles there are plenty of situations where you are far away from a checkpoint and you need to stop playing for sometime, it is great for cases like that.
If they implement it such that the game state is saved to the hard drive instead of RAM, it would be even better since you can completely turn off the console and still continue playing. I doubt it though.

Best thing about this feature on the vita is how it kicks in when the battery is at critical lvl so your game is safe til you get it to a charging point.... just happened with me miles down digging in MC so I'm pretty damn happy it's there, woulda lost a lot of digging progress.

Also considering that the saves are also uploaded to servers, it is difficult to lose progress these days :).

Aye the saves get uploaded with psn+ but Vitas Minecraft doesn't save on the fly like the PC game, you set up an auto save time for it either every 15/30 mins of play since it takes about 5-10 secs to save the changes to the landscape, could definately risk losing up to half an hour of play time if the Vita used the same power method the 3DS uses (Green>red>flashingred>tears).
