Yes that is true, at least for all newly established characters. LC will
(slowly, I imagine) undertake a project to convert their LCSH headings for
ficititious characters to name authorities. NACO libraries will establish
them as well as needed and report existing LCSH terms for cancellation.

I can't use RDA yet, so I wasn't paying initial attention to this
discussion. I understood that a fictitious character as author would now be
in a 100 field, but now it sounds like all fictitious characters are to be
treated like real people and placed in the 600 field as well. Is that the
case?
