I do think Cinder was most likely thinking about Raven. However...

1. We don't know if someone can naturally have two Maiden powers at one time. If they can't, then the Fall Maiden powers likely went to a completely random young woman somewhere else in the world.

2. We learned in a Q&A that the cut-off age (the age at which a woman can no longer receive the powers) is 30 years old. Raven is most likely about 38 or 39 years old, maybe even older, considering students graduate Huntsman academies like Beacon at about age 21 (They start at 17, Ozpin said they'd be there for 4 years), and Yang was 17 years old in Volumes 1-3 and is most likely 18 now in Volumes 4 and 5. Thus, if Cinder's final thoughts were of Raven, the Fall Maiden powers went to a completely random person because Raven is too old to gain new Maiden powers. Raven received her Spring Maiden powers before she turned 30. After all, Lionheart said the previous Spring Maiden ran away "over a decade ago", as in over 10 years ago, so Raven was 28 or 29 at the oldest when she received Spring's powers.

In short, I think it's entirely likely that the Fall Maiden powers have gone to a completely random young woman, if Cinder died.
