Seat allocation query

Quick question... I am fairly sure someone on here will know the answer for sure. (I did do a search on here and could not find the answer).
If I look at my itinerary on the VS Website, it says I have seat 8A both ways for my next trip. If I then go to try and view the seating plan for the outward flight, it says the plan is unavailable and seats will be allocated at check-in.
So does the Itinerary screen on the VS website mean the seat is still mine? (It is still showing as allocated on ExpertFlyer).
Thanks
James
