Well, the region lock won't go away (damn you Nintendo!), 

They said they were talking about removing region lock a few months back.

Seems very unlikely they would just remove it now though. Maybe when they were talking about that they meant for future consoles?

I think we both mis interpreted. 

Region lock won't go away for 3DS and Wii U (I think that's what you were referring to, sorry about that)

But yes, future consoles will most likely not have it.
