Well, I guess it must literally mean "with [your] permission," but yes, it's used in Spanish in the same way that 'excuse me' is used in English.
I have an idea that 'con permiso' is the sort of thing you say (apologetically! 
) when you're slipping past someone, or squeezing between two people....generally making your way through a crowd. But I think that if you're trying to gain someone's attention to ask a question, you'd say "Perdone."
That's just my impression, so anyone, please correct me on that!
