Yup, but you know how it is with The Forgotten Realms. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting another goddess of Magic who has died. Though this time it wasn't just Mystra who died. Sevras died with the dissolution of Mystra's Realm, Dweomerheart and then while Azuth tried to escape the Spellplague, he was thrown into the Nine Hells where Asmodeus captured him and stole his divine essence, to became a god himself.
There were a lot of changes in the Planes too. The World Tree was destroyed. Most of the Outer Planes were either destroyed or merged with Astral Dominions. Paths were reopened to the Feywild.
Forgotten Realms tend to have big events happen every time a new addition of the game is created to try to explain the changes. I believe Ed Greenwood begged them not to do it but they did it anyways.
