It certainly should work (though I haven't tried it myself recently).

What makes you think that it doesn't?

Note: this doesn't do bi-directional uid/gid mapping.
The export line you have should mean that all access are performed as
though by uid  "-2" and gid "501".  The uid/gid in "ls" output will
still be whatever it is on the server.
