Yes, that's correct. The Text channel has methods that are deprecated 
and you shouldn't implement them (no client uses them), but it's the 
channel type, so it needs to be present. The Messages interface is what 
clients use on top of the Text channel to send/receive messages. In 
Telepathy 1.0 this was planned to become one again, merging the Messages 
interface methods in the Text channel.

I don't know about that, you should ask resiprocate developers.
