[2020] New Icebrood statue in Bjora Marches... has anything else changed?

I think ArenaNet might have started sneaking new assets into the map but I'm not entirely sure. As far as I know, this statue (and possibly other copies of it) were not in the zone at launch: https://imgur.com/a/IXIvkmD

MightyTeapot has a stream of the zone at launch and passes the same area at ~4:19:45 (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/510521937) and it's not there.

Does the statue appear as part of the meta? Has anyone else noticed any other changes?
