I thought I read that you could reply to a text without actually going all the way to the SMS app in Lollipop, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet or it'd not a feature. I'm not making this up am I?

Right now the Messaging app that Google just released with Nexus 6. I'd be willing to go back to Hangouts though if I could use this feature.

Hangouts doesn't have this feature, at least not yet. Try swiping down on the notification in the notification panel to see if it's in the messaging app. if you Have the option to quick reply, then it's built in. If not, then it's not.

Looks like it's not, I guess this was an iOS 8 feature that I got mixed up.

8sms (or other cm10 source messages app) has the extended notification option to reply without opening the SMS itself. Looks outdated but the Dev still maintains it.
There was a potential in getting this feature in hangouts via xposed mod but the Dev that I asked to do this had too much on his plate I guess for his xhangouts module.
