Nope.
Pretty much for billing purposes only.

It is a distinct number and with the inclusion of mobile share plans (unlimited texting) and the fact that the iPad can utilize iMessage, they really should turn this option on.

Apple is changing the way iMessage is handeled in iOS 6 which should be released in Sep.
“We’re unifying your phone number and your Apple ID,” said iOS guru Scott Forstall at WWDC today. “So if someone calls you on your phone number with a FaceTime call, you can answer the call on your iPad or even your Mac. And we’re doing the exact same thing with iMessage.”

You can call it, but the little man in your iPad probably won't answer.
