Yup, still is.. Look for a checkmark that's lit up or not lit up. Usually in the lower left corner of the box with the user info in it.

I run VBulliten 3 - LS1Tech Vertical, and the box is right next to the username, its very noticible and quite simple. White = online, blue = offline.

Dunno how its setup with the other styles, but I think its pretty easy to figure out.

The indicator is a white/blue image near the bottom of the post on Old School, Darkside, B&W (heh), and VB3.
It's a white/blue image next to the username on VB3 Vertical.
And on Plasma (expanded and narrow), it's text that says "[username] is Offline" or "[username] is Online".
Also, on the image ones, you can move your mouse over the image and see text that says "[username] is online now" or "[username] is offline"

Green/Red is gaudy and does not blend well with the color schemes. That is just my 2 cents.

Also is probably why those colors weren't used.

Yeah, I almost put that in my earlier post. This way they match the other buttons/icons.
