The iPad can connect to the iPhone's Personal Hotspot, and use its Data plan yes. You do not need a cellular iPad.

Note that, the iPad will not limit its usage, and will attempt to do everything it does while connected to Wifi, when its connected to the iPhone. So unless you have an unlimited Data plan, its easy for the iPad to suck up all the allotted data very quickly. Pay close attention to the Data usage on the iPhone.
