Effectively yes. The i in iASP meaning independent here. While in use it's controlled by one server and the other server is a data recipient. When the primary fails the iASP is taken over by the backup server, applications are started up and users continue from the backup server.

Oversimplified yes and flash copies give you a lot of other capabilities but not the ability to use two copies live and in parallel as the OP is suggesting.

What does clustering around an iASP buy you? Does that just give an alternate CPU a chance to use the data if the primary CPU fails?

True that but it's frozen in time at the point of the flash copy. Any
transactions at that point will not be reflected.

Depending on your needs this could be good or bad. For example flashing
at month and and keeping that for a week makes it simple to do month end
queries or reports there with no effort. However if you expect to see
current values you're out of luck!

Also be very careful if you're backing that up because if the
application isn't properly stopped you may have an inconsistent save
point. Clearly depends on the application.
