I thought I'd take a look, and that landed me here:
https://messages.google.com/web/authentication

It's not clear if that link is established to your phone, and your
computer uses your phone as some kind of modem; or your phone
authenticates it against google's message server, and your computer
does it all over the internet (I'd guess this method).

I don't think you could use that if you used something else (Samsung
has its own messages app that it'll use by default, likewise with
iPhone).  Of course you can always install the google message app on
your phone, if you want to.  I tried it years ago, but preferred
Samsung's message app (back then).
