Not quite.  Geary mines your messages for email addresses and uses 
those for auto-completion.  There are some heuristics to choose the 
best form of and order the contacts, so it's probably finding your 
Google contacts from the messages you've sent to and received from them.

The long-term plan, as I understand it, is to interface with Gnome 
Contacts, which I think can pull contacts from Google.  Details are
