No, it's got nothing to do with Bioware. Trent Oster is ex-Bioware. His studio is called "Overhaul Games", which ironically hints that unfortunately, it will indeed be some kind of superfluous HD remake.
If you do the research, you'll see that he's already had a meeting with Atari. Furthermore, the fact that Trent prefers BG1 to BG2 gives more credence to the idea that it'll be a remake.

I was hoping for another Infinity Engine game based on the source code stuff from the baldursgate.com website (Raise Dead: Infinity Engine!). BG3 at this point, wouldn't make any sense. I guess it's a case of watch this space and we'll see what happens.
