No, it assumes, that SIM storage was not used for SMS and I did not
remember correctly - indeed SIMs were used as SMS storage as well. But
as far I know there is no universal way to transfer SMS to a SIM since
many devices just don't support that any longer.

Yes - it depends on the device and the SMS app used. On Google Pixel
devices this is not possible with the default SMS app and I don't know
if there is an app available at Google Play or F-Droid which supports
this at all.
