No. Texting or SMS is only phone to phone. However there are applications that port that text to data. Google Voice is probably the most popular service. With Google Voice there is an application for Android (iOS, desktop, etc) that will display SMS text messages in the application. Google will also send that text in an email if the user has that setting enabled.
It sounds like you are looking for just a point to point messaging system. iMessage is the system on iOS that you can use an email as an ID but it doesn't use email as the method of contacting. Blackberry has the same function with their Blackberry Messenger Service. Both of these are limited in devices and operating systems that can be used. There are other 403rd party applications like Voxer but both of you have to have that app, have accounts, then use that for your communication.
SMS is the only application across all phone manufacturers and that is phone number to phone number.
