Or is it also compatible with asp.net or asp.net mvc?

Scott Guthrie's blog post shows examples of inline code with both razor and regular asp.net tags. Webmatrix is just a "work environment" - it lets you edit ASP.Net and ASP.Net MVC pages, it's not exclusive of them.
As far as I understand it, razor syntax is just built on top of existing ASP.Net parsing, and you can choose to use it exclusively or mix it in with older ASP.Net stuff with no problems. I could be off on that though.

To clarify: WebMatrix does let you 'edit' MVC pages (just like any text editor would) but it does not actually let you work with MVC projects since those require a compilation step, which WebMatrix does not support.Also, Razor syntax is based on a completely new code base. But you can mix and match CSHTML and ASPX files in a single website.

Check out this great post from Dave Ebbo: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/davidebb/archive/2010/07/07/how-webmatrix-razor-asp-net-web-pages-and-mvc-fit-together.aspx
WebMatrix is really a tooling story, that comes with a stack (IIS Express, SQL CE 4 and Razor) enabling you to create a new breed of ASP.NET page or site. Not only can you use WebMatrix to edit and maintain traditional ASPX pages (a la Forms or MVC), but you can use WebMatrix to edit PHP files, work with MySQL databases and manage PHP-based open-source apps (WordPress, Joomla, etc.)
Bottom line: inline with Razor is not the only option when using WebMatrix, though it is the default when creating new pages.

WebMatrix only supports a folder-based project (i.e. a WebSite, not a Web Application Project). Because of this ASP.NET MVC is not supported.
However, you can have pure .cs files that you can reference from your .cshtml files. Just drop them in the App_Code folder.
