In a technical sense, it's true. 1.2 is the update that will abolish the MCPE name, and make all platforms simply "Minecraft". From 1.2 onwards, mcpe will be known as the mobile, or bedrock, edition.

It shall not be the last update to come to the mobile edition though. New things will still be added.
