Is that true and how it works? If so, any issues with me booking my international vacation this week (travel date mid-2018) so I can get Economy Plus for free before my status expires?

As mentioned, you will lose your entitlement to E+ (and thus any protection if things go wrong) on 01-Feb-18. But you may otherwise select E+ seats for future travel.
