Yes, but you could omit the "now". As one of the first line pilots to fly the A320 (March 1988), I can assure you it was ever thus.
There is a difference here as the white cross used to disappear when main gear oleos were fully extended but now, the white cross disappears as soon as the nose gear oleo is fully extended, at least on the 330s I know.
IOW the white cross used to be displayed for the full rotation, but not anymore.
As mentioned earlier by woodja51, depending on the CG, THS setting, RWY surface, the white cross can already disappear or at least blink during the take off roll.
