Yeah, I'd say it has become much more common as of my last visit a couple years ago, but I still regularly bump into folks working in tourist-heavy parts of Tokyo who are limited to single word or short phrase English, and in mountain villages? Forget about it.
I'd say my Japanese is worse than their English.
