Going by the fact it isn't on the seatmap online and VXQ is, I'm gonna say that VXB has not been reconfigured.

VXB also had a test flight (QF6113) which VXQ didn't (straight back to revenue service). Suggests 'general' mx for VXB... I'm with Zac.

Is there one currently underway in BNE? I see XZJ hasn't flown since arriving from ISA on Wednesday night but assume that's just general mx?

Have any more 737s been refitted other the VXB and VXR? Or are there are any being refitted currently?

As previously stated in this thread, VXB was not fitted, VXQ was. It does appear that VZB is the first aircraft to have the refit done in Sydney.

VXB has not been refurbished. However VXQ has so, together with VXR, there are currently two completed.

Per Fred's post above, there should be one currently underway in SYD and there may also be one underway in BNE.

I notice from flightaware VYK has been out of service at BNE since 7 Oct & VZE since 23 Sept.

VZB has been out of service at SYD since 5 Oct.
