Actually, what you read then was incorrect. Because dining plan option is offered, we have done it. https://www.dvcrequest.com/disney-dining-plan.asp
Free dining, I am unsure of, but thought it was offered as well when they are offering it that is.
FWIW, when someone stays in a DVC villa on rented (or owned) points, they are not eligible for any special offers (including free dining) that Disney might be offering at the time, but they can purchase the dining plan (at full price) if they wish -- the member from whom they are renting will have to make the arrangements.
If you are paying rack rate for a DVC villa (in other words, you booked it through Disney like any other hotel reservation and are not staying on DVC points), you can also purchase the dining plan, and if your stay there falls during a free dining promotion, you may be eligible for free dining, if your particular resort and villa category are not excluded from the offer.
