Yes, it will have to link it to her Apple ID during setup and then iMessages will work. You’ll have to have messages in the cloud turned on the iPad and the watch for iMessages to sync up.

Where would that setting be on the iPad?

Settings>iCloud>iCloud>messages

Make sure it’s toggled on to sync. Anything else you want, like contacts, on the watch should also be turned on.

That’s incredibly helpful. My wife and I are both recent Android converts so we’re still learning. Thank you!
