I am not at all familiar with the hardware design of phones, so I want to be very clear in my understanding.

Are you saying that the electrical signals from the microphone and to the speakers pass through the baseband chip before/after going to the main chip on the phone? Or that the baseband chip has separate access to the microphone and speakers?

There are varying architectures, so it depends. But at a minimum, the baseband at a minimum has low level access to anything that goes over the network. In some implementations, the baseband can just read straight from main system memory if it wants.
