Yes, two accounts can be set as primary on one PS4 system, but the setting is named differently. What it means is you can activate one PS4 as the primary console for multiple accounts. This allows all accounts to share games and subscriptions downloaded by any account set as primary on that console. However, an account can only have one primary PS4 at a time. This feature is great for families or roommates to share content without buying multiple subscriptions.
