Indeed, that's the current implementation, which is now deployed.
Here's an example female user's page on Spanish Wikipedia:

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuaria:Angela_tocua

And here's an example female user's page on German Wikipedia:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzerin:Nicola

So, should be supported everywhere now -- if your language isn't
showing the correct term, please file a bug here:

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki

against the "internationalization" component. Note, again, that the
female term will only be shown for users who've publicly disclosed
their gender through their user preferences.

Cheers,
Erik
