Nobody knows, but I think thats a fair guess. There are a lot of things I think are possible.

option 1: pvp is 10-19, 20-29, etc like we've come to expect wow pvp to operate
option 2: pvp is 10-14, 15-19, etc owning to the vast power differences between levels. This would also see bracket populations more or less unchanged
option 3: pvp is fully scaled like the Korraks AV event and brackets are 10-50 or even 10-60
option 4: (and the one I think is most likely) pvp is 10-14, 15-19 etc for regular BGs and korraks style scaling for epic BGs.

Any options for 1+ jk jk : /

Do we know what happens with the azerite gear? I asked Dalarangaming when he was doing the livestream and he just said some of the traits are now built in but didnt confirm what excatly happens to that gear. I finally got my frost dk and with the 2 legendaries but wonder if I should stop simply because of all the nerfs that are prob coming towards that gear

I just don’t follow how a complaint can be made that some content including spells will be gated behind max level. 0.0

The level squish wasn't needed, people could simply level up to 130 and earn new skills. Instead blizzard chose to revamp everything and move key skills to the upper levels (ex. Timewarp and Alter Time for Mages, 58+).

It was a deliberate move that hurt people who twink, but according to blizzard those aren't customers, so nobody cares if their experience gets affected. What is so hard to understand?

In addition, Blizz said at the beginning that the level squish would NOT imply a stat squish. Which was a bold faced lie, and now the difference between Antorus (240) and basic legion (168) is like 5 ilevels. So much for running for titanforges and better gear, when the difference is 1 ilevel.

Simply put, blizzard doesn't care about how twinks are affected by the changes they make. It isn't simply that it is not a supported playstyle (like roleplaying, where blizzard just let it be and does nothing), but it seems like blizzard sees twinking as a threat to their max level treadmill, let's not allow any other way to have fun ingame.

This has been true since the game launched. Welcome to playing twinks, I guess?
