No, this is incorrect. If one device wants to connect on one
channel, the other typically has to use the same channel. If one
device wants to scan, the other will be affected. Some hardware may
support switching around between two channels, but might also
support more than 2 virtual interfaces, so again they won't be
independent.
BTW: which devices can switch channels?
None today, I'm working on it.
If this is not possible how people setup wireless hotspot using virtual
interfaces and run wpa_supplicant and hostapd on each separately.
Like here:

Of course it's possible. Are you deliberately misunderstanding me?
You cannot use more than one channel today. We are changing that. To do
good channel management, rather than hard-coding it in your config, you
want to run a single wpa_s controlling all interfaces.
