1) It was Monty who said that.

2) He said it was in Season 3.

3) He was among the few who bothered to make a distinction between "Volume" and "Season".

For all we know "Season 3" is whatever happens after Atlas. Of course, this is waaaaaaaay back and he wrote from the seat of his pants all the time, so for all we know that plan really got scrapped, or replaced with something else that may be better or worse.

b. I still think she'll return to the narrative

2. as that was triggered by Jaune's recording it's at least somewhat excusable. 1A) If it was meant to be a misdirection, it was so cheap it's shameful. They set-up a decently-good plot: Penny wanting to go to Beacon to be with Ruby. Even just the attempt at asking Ironwood would've made for a perfectly-good scene and show character development for Penny. And if it wasn't for Vol.3 happening, we could've gotten something like JPDE: Penny getting her own team, and most likely ordered to hide her robot nature from them. Which in itself sets up future stories well.

But no, it was "just thrown in for future emotional impact". It's about as cheap as making Roman give that "I will survive" speech half a second before being chomped.

1B) She already did, 73. Oscar asked Ruby about it and she said she doesn't give much of a fuck because she didn't "know her very well".

2) Not really. Because that would imply that Ruby truly doesn't give a damn to the point you must practically use suggestions while she sleeps to make her even remotely think about it. Plus that can't be the only time Jaune listened to a Pyrrha recording during all the months they traveled.
