Short answer - no.
No, the phpBB module (and full phpBB install) has no connection with Drupal's native Forum. There is no mechanism to move the posts from Drupal Forum to phpBB included in the bridging module.

I think both the Drupal-phpBB bridging modules have mechanisms to migrate/copy user accounts into the phpBB database... and maybe from phpBB to Drupal.
Remember, you are basically running installs of Drupal and phpBB with a connection between them to have a single logon. They do share data, but its possible to get the user DB tables for each out of sync, especially if the user is allowed to modify their info, avatars, etc. I have managed to break my setup a couple times - I am using the phpBB Drupal module - http://drupal.org/project/phpbb
