Sounds about right Lloyd,

VPF's ETD at LAX is 1900 local time on the 9th after which it will commence revenue service.

VPF will be in VCV for about another week. It will then swap over with VOZ which will go to VCV for some mods.

VPF is sch to operate VA2 LAX/SYD on the 9th as it's first revenue service so if you want a photo it should be in SYD on the 11th.

Looks like it will swap over with VPE now, not VOZ.
