Yes, Soviets had a MOSS equivalent.

A MOSS doesn't make the noise of a sub calmly searching. It makes the noise of a sub frantically trying to get out of a torpedo's range. Getting the AI to pop them at the right time to fool a torpedo is the hard bit, I'd imagine.
No, Soviet MOSS equivalents were commonly used for the ASW search evasion, while emulating "calmly searching submarine" signature amongst other things (ie the correct active sonar returns).

However, MOSS could not be introduced for the AI, as the player would see the AI launched MOSS (or equivalent) for what it is (ie a MOSS or equivalent) in the user interface.
