Yes, seems good. The Imperium have had plans for development of Hyperpsacial weapons for a long time.

In fact, ever since they looted almost all of the Tyranny's archives on DP (Seeing how adavnced the Tyranny was they certainly had at least plans). That's reason they didn't wage a war of revenge against the Anti-Dominatus Coalition in the first place - only they and the Troodontids had the full codes at hand to crack their late ally's vaults and IoW wanted to get everything out before the Troodontids showed up to destroy them - basically where the Troodontid-IoW War started. However they just shelved them and basically sat on them intil France invented the first true hyperspace missile. The IoW felt a revolution was coming, but at that point they still couldn't produce it because they weren't in posession of factories on Tyranny planets they needed to produce it. And they couldn't simply trade it over because the universe labels them as a rogue nation. Que their true intentions for joining the SMC.

The SMC, on the other hand, are just beginning hyperpsacial research and are thus getting bobarded by both sides - By France using Angelfire and by the Imperium of War using Hypernova missiles. The Imperium will wait a moment though - they'll dramatically reveal their own accuired hyperspacial weaponry by wiping out a good chunck of GMC scout fleets at one. Just to demoralize them more.
