Are International DL's Now Being Officially Recognized as Promised?

Back in November 2014 it was all over the news that Vietnam would start recognizing International Driver's Licenses starting January 2015, but I cannot find any updates as to whether or not that is now actually the case.. So does anyone have any info on this? is my international permit legal here, or do I still have to get my DL translated to a local license to avoid any police trouble & travel insurance coverage issues if I get in an accident?
