Can a terrestrial terminal connect with a 5G terminal on the moon via GEO?
No, it is too far away and the smartphone does not have enough power for
that.
A terrestrial terminal would connect to a 5G ground station, or maybe
via a sat reflector back to a ground 5G base station, by using a 5G
protocol.
This would then talk to a satellite on GEO, but not with a 5G protocol,
but with an IP-over-Ethernet radio or optical link.
The GEO sat would then forward that to a Lunar orbitter, again not using
5G protocols. It would then land on a Moon 5G base station. That Moon
5G base station would use a 5G protocol to talk to 5G terminals on the
Moon.
This IP-over-Ethernet for ground-to-GEO-to-LunarOrbitter would maybe
involve CCSDS link layer, or maybe an SDA link layer.
A complete 3GPP architecture for 5G Earth-Moon would not be 5G, but 6G,
because it is too late for 5G. The architecture would be completely
rewritten at 3GPP to acommodate that.

Probably can launch a crate of Nokia 3310 phones as terminals
freefloating in
a moon intercept orbit from a Falcon 9.
