If you are signed into the same Apple ID on the iPad as you are on the phone, and you have the iPad selected on the iPhone in Settings>Phone>Text Message forwarding, then yes, you can do text messaging from the iPad. You do not need to have a cellular plan on the iPad, and unless you specifically purchased a wi-fi and cellular iPad, you won't be able to have cellular data anyway.
