Yes, Auto save is an internal feature in Maya.

It does an incremental save after a certain amount of time based on time specified in the System Preference.

Auto save is not enabled by default.

In order to make best use of this plugin I would recommend using it with a project and not with an individual Maya file, because autosave function saves the incremental files in under autosave directory in the project set.

You can read how to set it up in the article below
