Yes it would do that.
Once setup if you get an SMS it will show up as a chat message from '[hidden email](or 'username' if you have that number in your Google contacts) if you reply to the chat message the guy who sent you the SMS gets an SMS back containing your reply. For all he knows you are just replying to his SMS via SMS.

Hi,
Does GVmax allow me to send and receive texts through Gmail Chat with my Google Voice number? As of right now, I use the SMS lab feature in Gmail to send texts, but a random phone number appears as the caller id for the receiver. I would like to know if GVmax offers this solution. How does GVmax work with Gmail Chat in general?
