no, not yet.

that is indeed true and is intentional. If you want to send through the database, you can use an external program to add the SMS to the database.
The whole SMS support is simply a prove-of-concept as of now. At some point we
need to move it into its own SMSC application program and have a proper
interface in the MSC part of OpenBSC. You're welcome to help with that
implementation :)
