They haven't said anything about including RabbitWhite's mod. Since they have lately been very open in naming the mods that are part of BtS, but haven't mentioned RabbitWhite when they talked about the new diverse unit functionality, they probably didn't use his mod.
Also, they are talking about just a few units being ethnically diverse, not all of them. They talked more about the new functionality itself (i.e., allowing different looks of the same unit, which eliminates the need to create lots of differently looking units with identical stats) than about the units that actually use it.
