I couldn't find the FAQ on the blog (duh moment, I'm tired LOL) but the closest thing I could find was
this post by Lee which says in part:
<blockquote><hr>
Moves: When the first two items are done we will open the “Bullet Train” from the TSO Production Cities. This will enable you to move from Alphaville, Blazing Falls, Calvins Creek, Dan’s Grove, East Jerome, Fancey Fields, Betaville, Interhogan, Jolly Pines, Dragon’s Cove, or Mount Fuji. These moves will be with out lots and with out Simoleans. I repeat the bullet train move from TSO Production Cities will be with “Lot Less” and “Simolean Less”. You will not be able to move from Test Center 3. (THESE MOVES DO NOT INCLUDE TEST CENTER 3)

I'm not certain if free play has indeed been enabled, but if it hasn't it looks like they are going to do that first before they start allowing moves out of the production cities, minus the TCs and BV. Sorry it's not a clear yes or no, but thought I'd offer what info I could find
