yes, but this setting is the same as before. I'm seeing nothing different. Unless, like I said, it does it automatically.
I just went through this. On your iPhone, go to settings - imessage - send and recieve, and make sure AppleID (at the top) is added/set.
Once that's done (You'll probably have to log in), set the iPad up the same, and your send/receive at from the iPhone will appear as options on the iPad (Including your phone number)
Hope this works for you. It did for me.

This all happend automatically for me.
After rebooting for the OS X update I got an dialog box asking if I wanted to add my phone number to Messages. I clicked yes then the next time I unlocked my iPhone it asked me if I wanted to allow my MBA access to messages.
I havent tested to see if it works yet mind.

its all linked under your apple id...so If you have both numbers linked to 1 ID you should be able to unless that was not thought of yet...ideally should work
i do have all 3 under the same appleid, guess I will find out later when I get a chance to get all 3 updated.
Have you shut off iMessage on all apple devices. Turned them off, waited fifteen seconds, turned them back on, then re-enabled iMessage across the devices?
Yep, I have tried that several times. I've turned off iMessage, turned off all of my devices and left them off for several minutes, and then tried again. No luck.
EDIT: Not sure what happened, but it's working now! Thanks for the help everyone!

got them all updated and both phone numbers and all emails show up on all 3 devices.
iMessages sent to either number or the 3 emails shows up on everything. SMS texts are still limited just to the phone number they were sent to of course.
I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to post this in case anyone is stumbling across it as I did.
The fix for me was Messages>>Preferences >> Accounts Click sign out. Sign in.
Immediately showed my phone number and messages started coming in.
