As at least NetCom here in Norway allows one to send SMS's which seem
to originate from your phone, but are really sent from the web, that
last assumption is correct.  IIRC, the police were quite annoyed when
GSM was put into production, since they then had to go to the telco's
switching centers in order to tap the line, so I guess the telco can
still tap your conversations.
