I wonder if Apple's ios7/Yosemite icon designs are a shift in this direction to vectors. E.g. the icons look like they are authored as a vector. But, I wonder if the platform APIs are not yet ready to handle vectors everywhere and seamlessly between pixel/vector formats.

Almost all of these are done as vectors in Illustrator and pre rasterized into pixels (with touch ups in PS if necessary).
Absolutely. No designer worth their salt is starting with PS for these app icons.
