This is correct. That upgrade item should not be different than the upgrade from 910 to 940.
The Stabilized Titan Essence to upgrade legendary items to 970 will still be consumed on use, right?

The new quest will take all Legion legendaries to item level 970.
Will I be able to take 910 legendary to 970, or from 910 to 940 to 970?
The new quest will take all Legion legendaries to item level 970.

The new quest (available when Tomb opens next week) takes items directly to 970, entirely replacing the old one.
Old legendary upgrade quest (910 -> 940) is gone, no longer in log, probably lost progress. NPC no longer offers quest.
