All signs point to that still being the plan, although you don't hear much about it given the unknown far future time period. It is more of an envisioned route than anything else.
In Arbutus Greenway planning I've seen cursory mentions of a future connection to a continuous Fraser River Greenway. I even recall planning for that greenway being on the work plan after the Arbutus plan is finalized. I did a quick search and couldn't find the exact mention but I remember being excited to see the mention. Like many Metro Vancouver transit projects, look to the past for an idea of what the route and stops might be:

http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/arbutus-corridor-streetcar-greenway-route-stations-vancouver. Mostly the same with stops shifted here or there. I'd expect something similar for Fraser River extension of the Arbutus Line. It would be an extremely logical connection between various transit lines, which is probably why the Westminster-Eburn line was already running way back in 1909.
