By default Bash will auto complete filenames (In fact, in 25 years, i can't remember the time bash didn't). Sometimes, there are autocomplete 'helpers' that try to be overly smart (ie, only autocompleting files that have the right extension, which can interfere when you are doing creative things with mis-named file). However, in Powershell, cmdlets declare a type for each of their parameters, which lets powershell autocomplete the right type of item, which can make it a bit more magical and reliable.
