VHT MCS rates are reported by drivers with NSS + MCS rates 0-9 [1] as 
separated values. So I would say that the code is correct to report them as 
separate values. But no, I haven't tested with an 802.11ac capable device 
which I can fully trust because I didn't have one in arms reach (and I would 
have to compile a new firmware for it). But the output for a second ath10k 
based device looks ok'ish:

    Station ac:86:74:61:6b:30 (on wlan1)
            inactive time:  700 ms
            rx bytes:       10741
            rx packets:     95
            tx bytes:       9886
            tx packets:     86
            tx retries:     0
            tx failed:      0
            rx drop misc:   1
            signal:         -22 dBm
            signal avg:     -21 dBm
            tx bitrate:     780.0 MBit/s VHT-MCS 8 80MHz short GI VHT-NSS 2
            rx bitrate:     780.0 MBit/s VHT-MCS 8 80MHz short GI VHT-NSS 2
            rx duration:    8172 us
            authorized:     yes
            authenticated:  yes
            associated:     yes
            preamble:       long
            WMM/WME:        yes
            MFP:            no
            TDLS peer:      no
            DTIM period:    2
            beacon interval:100
            short slot time:yes
            connected time: 106 seconds

Kind regards,
