Yep, selected FTTN customers will be able to order free FTTP upgrades soon if they order faster plans than they can already get.
NBN Co say it's more cost effective to go straight to a fibre upgrade rather transition to FTTC because not everyone in an area will want faster connections.
They are first targeting areas where they believe the uptake of the upgrade offer will be greatest.

nbn™ FTTN connection who would like to order a plan based on an
nbn™ Home Fast or higher may be eligible to upgrade to
nbn™ FTTP.
Our aim is to allow up to two million premises currently in the FTTN footprint and most of the 1.5 million FTTC premises to benefit from extended fibre in the
nbn™ network by the end of 2023.
