No, it won't find your bookmarks, cookies, cache, anything. Not automatically.

A snap is a container, and while your non-snap Chrome stores its files in ~/.config folder, your snap-Chrome will store it on .snap/chrome or something like that. To make it see your non-snap profile, you have to create a link between those two. And if you are abandoning the snap version for good, just move the files to your .config and it will work.
