Yes it is, but you have to be a lovefilm subscriber to get it. It only streams the free film and most, though not all of the well known ones are older ones. As a freebie it's excellent. I would think Lovefilm would happily launch on VM with that scenario as they've said they want to get on as many connected platforms as possible.
But VM may be able to do a different deal with Lovefilm ---- reduced subscription rates and the ability to stream the films you would otherwise get through the post? ATM I believe VOD rights that Sky have got tied up could prevent some of this, but that is being investigated and now Lovefilm are fully owned by Amazon, they have more finacial clout to go up against Sky.
Of course, it doesn't have to be lovefilm, there could be other film providers that would want to do such a deal; there could even be lovefilm plus other providers
