Almost all APs support roaming, because they'd have to go out of their way
to prevent it: roaming is controlled from the client end.

Most clients seem to just implement the "wait until contact is lost with
the current AP then scan for a new one" scheme, though cleverer approaches
are possible.

Roaming between AirPort and AirStation APs certainly works.
