They can't see each other, exactly. But two buried pieces can't occupy the same hex, so if you try to move a buried piece to a hex that's already occupied (by an opponent's buried piece) you get a prompt telling you that can't move your piece there.

While we're on the topic, I'm not sure if you've noticed this yet but there is a way to deduce the positions of your opponent's buried underlings in some situations. If a piece of yours has one or more underlings buried on adjacent hexes, it will show a yellow number indicating the number of buried underlings:



This doesn't tell you where they are exactly, but every piece will show their own number - so if you have a number of pieces close together you can often deduce the positions of the surrounding buried underlings. You can't always deduce it with 100% accuracy though, because there may be multiple possible distributions of surrounding underlings that could lead to the numbers you're seeing.

Finally - if you're playing a team game (2v2, 3v3, 4v4) you can see your teammates buried underlings.
