Tabs created with the extensions.tabs api should be no different from user-navigated tabs WRT content script injection. If you've setup your match pattern properly, the content script will be injected.
One potential problem with the above code is that you are firing the request when the tab is created, but it still has work to do with loading, so you may have a race. One option would be to listen to tabs.onUpdated, and wait for status="complete". A better approach would be to have the content script contact the background page. This gets around the timing issue of when the page is ready. Not sure what your use case is. Hope this helps.
