Correct.
052D's universal VLS can launch both hot and cold launch missiles. The Test-Ship Bi Sheng shows that:
Suppossedly a YJ-18 launch: Shows that it is hot-launched
Either a HQ-26 or HQ-8, rumored to be a ultra-long-range SAM compatible with the largest 9 meter cell of the 052D and 055, from the same ship: Obviously cold-launched.

This is really the problem with Sinodefence being down/updating only slowly/being behind the curve. We have no authoritative source to point people to when they ask questions that have been already answered.
And no, Wikipedia is a cesspool. There is one hater who is vandalizing entries of Chinese military hardware in the name of "reliable source", but really just because he doesnt want to see China's advancements.

The part that I found which relates to VLS.
Some names of institutions are skipped because I don't know the official translation.
2016年1月13日，新华网刊发中国工程院院士邱志明事迹，称他带领团队成员研制成功射速超过8000发/分的近防炮，可拦截2～3倍音速的反舰导弹；还突破了多武器冷热兼容通用垂直发射技术难题，在舰艇有限空间内高火力密度发射多类型武器，使我国新型驱逐舰装载武器种类、数量、火力密度大幅提高。
2016 Jan. 13, Qiu Zhiming claims the team he led had successfully developed CIWS with a rate of fire of over 8000 rounds per minute, capable of intercepting ASMs at the speed of mach 2-3, as well as had a significant breakthrough in solving the problem of hot/cold universal VLS. Which greatly improved the density of firepower for ships with limited space, allowing the new indigenous destroyer to carry more weapons, more types of weapons and improving the density of firepower.
Translated that while sitting in McDonalds eating burger, so grammar might be a bit off, but I think most infos are through.

Maybe mods can set up a database of our own, like SDF wiki or something. People here certainly know better than most wiki editor and if someone is screwing entries mods can step in which is the major problem of wikipedia now.
