In terms of APIs for the system services, it never did.

On some of the older VAX-only disks it might be that the internal
storage is RAD50, but the interface exported via RMS uses ASCII,
with only certain characters being legal.

Unless your intention is to write an ODS-1 ACP in Ada, the internal
storage format is immaterial to the Ada programmer.
