Can we match to orbit of small satellites like deimos? Not orbit deimos around mars

Deimos yes, but curiously enough not Phobos (unless you do it manually).

Strange, I can easy did this with Luna, but not Deimos, even nerly. For me it's imposible, although I do the same as with the Luna.

You can set up Deimos as frame of reference, but for some reason not Phobos, so you'd have to do everything manually and I have never managed that (I have come within a literal stone throw distance of Phobos, but with some 150m/s velocity difference).
You can even sort of inject into orbit around Deimos, but it's so low mass and potato-shaped that there are no stable orbits around it - you end up in heavily perturbed tangle of not-quite ellipses and eventually end up being ejected or smashing into the surface (unless you continuously correct).
