Correct, an iPad can be linked to an iPhone's telephone number, but otherwise an iPad can only use email addresses as send from and receive at.
If you have an iPhone registered with Apple's iMessage service, then you can sign in to iMessage with the same AppleID on the iPad and use the iPhone's phone number with your iPad. If you do not have an iPhone, you cannot use a telephone number with an iPad and Apple's messaging app.
