Rumor is correct, and if you do use &fmt=18 you get the text "Play in low-quality mode" so I believe the net result is the same whether you use it or the new higher-quality link.

For some videos it makes no difference, because they were already compressed to junk before even being uploaded, but for others its visually easy to see the change.
