That's correct; when you get your ATP, it will remove the centerline thrust restriction.
He's asking because many ATP and type-rating programs do not allow centerline thrust-restricted Commercial MELs to take the course.
At least one of the regionals, ExpressJet, has worked with the FSDO to add the Vmc demo into their initial newhire training so that military multi fighter dudes can start without getting the centerline restriction removed first.
Other regionals may require you to go get the restriction removed yourself -- via a modified Commercial MEL checkride with a DE in a light twin -- before you start training.
