oh I apologize. There's two camps about it. It's fan speculation that Goujun became Hakuryuu, Hakkai's pet dragon/jeep (the dragon turns into a jeep ok? Just...go with it). Hakuryuu is shown to be intelligent but so far has not shown sentience. It's basically like he got reincarnated as a monkey instead of a human. To my knowledge this hasn't yet been proven and since Christa doesn't mention it I don't think she's using this explanation. Either way Smoke doesn't know Hakuryuu is anything other than a normal dragon (he's not entirely aware of his past incarnation either. He knows he has a connection to this guy named Kenren but he doesn't know how/why). So if they ping (and this is a good point this is a potential area where Jen could info mod) it'll be a very weak ping because its like recognizing your boss in your former life. They shouldn't REALLLY know each other--vague feelings yes. Full on YOU ARE FROM MY PAST? No.
In the original Saiyuki myth the fifth member of the party is The Dragon King/Goujun's son, not Goujun himself. So there is evidence to support it, but to my knowledge (and Jackie ...hell ok I just asked Jen too) its still speculation.
The other explanation is that Goujun is dead or he's still in heaven, I'm not sure as I ever read the epilogue (I got kinda bored haha). Christa's taking him from before that point in canon anyways.
To a lesser extent. Moon was a greater god in Heaven than Smoke and Goujun. Goujun is a second class citizen in Heaven because he's a dragon. Smoke is a lesser god because he's a soldier. Moon was a Heavenly paper pusher. Their connection is like Justice is to Genius--does his paper work, doesn't really care about the man.
Honestly it's really debatable how familiar they would be with each other. I'll be watching them to see if they have OMG INSTANT RECOGNITION! That would be info modding and ooc. But vague pings of familiarity are fine.
