Hi Pranav,
Yes, it would include all the 3D models that can be rotated and translated, including volume models. As it says in the manual page, "When multiple models are present, multiple matrices will be written to/read from the same file.”
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/matrixset.html>

There’s also a matrixcopy command to make the transform of one model the same as that of another.

Best,
Elaine
