Official statement

Google does not index content that loads solely through hash changes in the URL. However, if all the content is already present in the HTML and the hash merely shows/hides sections like tabs or accordions, it works properly.

TL;DR

Google does not index content that loads only through hash changes in URLs. However, if the content is already present in the HTML and simply changes visually, indexing works. This is useful for tabs and accordions.
