They're close, but not the full story. :|

I'm not aware of a good reference-type description of Verse's
subdivision surfaces, which is kind of silly. Perhaps Eskil has one?

Catmull-Clark surfaces don't have *creasing* support, which is in
Verse. With creases, you can express how smooth each corner and edge,
which means you are not limited to all-rounded objects.

I assume you've alread read the relevant part of the spec, here
<http://verse.blender.org/fileadmin/verse/spec/n-geometry.html>, for
(slightly) more on creasing.

This is a very unsatisfying answer, I know. Sorry.
