The plan is simple - Create custom emoticons of all the old ones, then replace all the keys of the old emoticons so that whenever I use them, the custom ones will appear instead...
If I understand you correctly, that's not what that article describes.
That article describes using Messenger Plus!' Quick Texts to replace a default shortcut with a custom shortcut in the text you type in a conversation. Thus the other way around, and nothing is changed in the resources of Messenger.
eg: you type "hello :)" and it is replaced with "hello :smile:", while you have a custom emoticon set with the shortcut :smile:.
Thus instead of sending "hello :)", Messenger actually sends "hello :smile:".
But yes, using such a method will indeed work, but you'll still sending custom emoticons in the end though.
