I have bad knees, where I can't do any major weight-bearing exercise that requires me to stand and put any pressure on my knee ligaments (squats, even deadlifts, etc.).
Is the iso-lateral leg press just as good as squats, if I for example push myself by doing one-legged presses? I do feel soreness after using this machine, so I feel like it is working...

no, but if you can't squat might as well.
Not too sure how this affects your knee differently than a squat though.

I have the same exact issue. Any squat is too hard for me to complete correctly due to pain in the knee. Front squats are better than back, but not by much.
This press, as well as the hack press machine (not sure if that's the right term) are good for me.
I also can't do leg extensions.
