The short answer: Not yet. 

The long answer: The VRM and VRC wallets will eventually be combined, they just aren't yet.  The binary chain is also still under development, so you won't be able to gain VRC from mining VRM at this time.  When binary chain is released, that will work, just not yet.  ETA, not sure, but there is a large push to get there.

I mean, you can send VRM to a VRC address, but you won't be able to see those coins, since the wallets aren't currently designed to handle the other coin.  If you send VRC to a VRM wallet, you would have to take that VRM wallet.dat and open it in a VRC wallet to see the coins.

As for the promises made, they were definitely lofty goals still being worked on.  VRC or VRM isn't dead by any means though, with a VRM (Verium) 1.3.1 wallet just being released (which is a HUGE release) and paves a lot of the way forward to the combined wallet and the binary chain.

I mean, check out these release notes for 1.3.0 and 1.3.1:
