Yes, "名無し" is basically equivalent term to "anon".

But we don't use "名無し" to call an anon.
">>Number" is often used to call a specific anon.
e.g. >>1はネトウヨ。

On the news-sokuhou board of 2ch, they often use prefecture name of Japan such as "北海道", "香川" instead of >>Number form.
(Prefecture name of person who have posted to the news-sokuhou board is publicly visible.)
e.g. 北海道がまたクソスレ立てたのか。

"おまえら" is used as the equivalent to "anons(you guys)".
e.g. おまえらのせいでまた自殺者が増えるのか。

"おれ(俺)ら" is used as the equivalent to "us".
e.g. 俺らｷﾀ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!

In www.2chan.net and around, "としあき" or "○○あき" is totally equivalent to "anon".
