Will be interesting to try this out =)

curious, is that's just a test to see how things goes?
Is there any way we could expect this to be released sooner or later?

I can guess an answer.
I think this is just for testing purposes. You need both system, the HTC Vive and the Gear VR, which doesn't make sense for a mobile target platform. I think they used the Lighthouse sensors to try out what might be possible to achieve in the near future on a mobile device, but that's about it, it's nothing more than R&D.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

correct me if I'm wrong (as I do not understant a lot of those thigns at all), but Carmac mentioned something about possitinal tracking from phone itself.. let's see, maybe I'll find a tweet =) here it is

Yep. At least for now - it's just an R&D tool until we get the real thing:

It will certainly happen in the near future, but not now. Phones are powerful, but not as powerful as they need to be to do that kind of tracking + running the game/app and keep you battery alive for more than 5 minutes...
