Yes, it will be rolled out to the 747-400 fleet, not sure about the 747-300's though. Qantas claim they will start the 744 rollout around May. Its a reasonably minor hardware upgrade that is required, but a bigger upgrade than was needed on the newer A330-300 systems.

Well I will no longer be looking to route vai SYD or MEL on my way out of the country. I used to do that to get Skyeds, but the A330-300 BNE-SIN and BNE-HKG will do me very nicely, and the AVOD is an added bonus.
