Yes it's similar, but on VMS the minor version of the shared image must be bumped as well in case of an addition, which is why I cannot use the ld version.

Sounds really like sonames (semantically, not implementation-wide).

patchlevel increase: no ABI changes, no problem to upgrade library
in-place.

minor version increase: conservative ABI extension, not a problem for
VMS if new entries are added to the end of list (which is sane thing to
do, I presume). New version will serve all applications linked with with
library with the same major version just fine.

major version increase: ABI breakage. Another version of library should
be installed alongside the older one.
