Yes it is, apperntly the side stories will be combined along with new story material of the groups journey into vol 9, which makes it offically part of the main storyline. as for when they will show up in the series is up to discusssion,

As for the meeting shiroe i think it is safe to say that since it is now in the offical main story line and the fact their group is heading to the japanese server as well as thef act that the group knows more about what is going on this world sucha s the info regarding the genius monsters u bet they will meet shiroe and his guild later in the series. :)
