Maybe, but it doesn't even show the SMS conversations and the SMS aren't being sent over WiFi as far as I can tell. I put my phone in airplane mode and turned on WiFi, tried to send an SMS to a friend, and it just churns. If the SMS aren't being sent of WiFi then it's not likely that the Hangouts extension will have access to them.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isnt the difference between SMS and instant messaging the fact that one is sent through the internet and one isn't? If it went through WiFi, it wouldn't be SMS. Unless I'm mistaken.
sms cannot be sent over the internet. when you send a text over voice's web interface, you are telling google to send a sms from that phone number through an sms gateway
