Ion as a EOS remote?

I am interested in having an ION as a stage board that is plugged into our EOS network.(EOS, RVI, RFR, laptop w/client)
I see from the ION page it states:  

Use Ion in a stand-alone system or as a remote programming station for an Eos system. When Ion is used as a client in an Eos system, it supports the full output of that host Eos system.

If I understand correctly if I  plug the ION into the EOS networks can I see the EOS show/patch etc? If I saved that information as a show on the ION could I then play back show cues using just the ION? I want to use ION as a stage programmer but also have the ability to play some cues back on the ION if need be. Will that work?

Thanks
