While trying to launch google-chrome from terminal, it launches successfully but shows the following:

emre@emre:~$ google-chrome

[9258:9283:0205/003113:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(608)] Failed to get name owner. Got org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not get owner of name 'org.chromium.Mtpd': no such name

[9258:9283:0205/003113:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(608)] Failed to get name owner. Got org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not get owner of name 'org.chromium.Mtpd': no such name

Plus, Google Chrome is not listed as installed in software center in any way. Why is this so?

Those are the kinds of errors you shouldn't worry about - usually it means it's trying to access things that your system wasn't designed for/doesn't include.
Also, Google Chrome by itself is not searchable in the Ubuntu Software Center. Try searching for "google-chrome" instead.

Edit:
As a general note, the longer and more specific your search term is, the smaller your chance of finding something unless you're sure of what you're searching for.

In this specific case, if you just typed google or chrome, the Software Center would have shown you google-chrome.
