That's a good question. I don't have a verfied answer for you, so it would be valuable for you or anyone else to test this out and come back here with an update for the page.

I expect the answer to be 'no', though. Since it appears that the fundamental difference between what crosses and doesn't cross the interplanar boundary is the damage source, I'd offer the following explanation:

1. When you shoot at a bullet from your Sybaris at a target, the target understands the source of the damage to be from a weapon. Across the plane, this damage is nullified.

2. When you shoot a bullet from your Sybaris through Volt's Electric Shield at a target, the target understands the source of the damage to be an ability. This is because when you shoot through the Electric Shield, you are not shooting "through" but instead shooting the Shield itself. The Shield transfers the data about angle-of-impact and sends a new instance of damage from the Shield to the target. This would also be why shooting through Electric Shield makes projectile weapons turn into hit-scan weapons. Across the plane, since Electric Shield is an ability, the damage is not nullified.

3. When you shoot a bullet from your Sybaris at a target while Smite Infusion is active on your Warframe, the target understands the source of the damage to be from a weapon. When you pull the trigger, the game checks all the instances of effects which would add damage, including a buff on the Warframe called "Smite Infusion", and applies them to the bullet that is fired. This damage is ultimately tied to the bullet from a weapon, not a bullet from an ability.

This is all conjecture. I have not actually taken a look at the code, but this is my guess. I could be wrong, and perhaps those elemental augment abilities actually do work for crossplanar action. Nothing beats testing.
