Yes, that was the plan. I don't know if the timing has been determined yet, though. I wouldn't loose hope about playing in July, anyway. Three weeks ago they were thinking it would be 'very soon', but that was before they decided to add more features and some stuff took longer than expected.
The updates to the Larian Vault should be done on the 24th; that could be an easy way to distribute beta keys... or Larian could just put up a form on the Dragon Commander site, or something. I assume they will at least want to get beta keys out to D:OS kickstarter/Paypal backers and everyone who pre-ordered Dragon Commander.
