It's pretty obvious that Shepard is still connected with Cerberus. He still gets intel from Cerberus, still gets paid by Cerberus, still uses a Cerberus ship manned by Cerberus crew, still gets new equipment from Cerberus, etc. I'm sure that eventually, either in upcoming DLC or in ME3, Shep will have the opportunity to actually split from Cerberus, but as of the latest DLC, regardless of choices regarding the Collector Base, it's clear Shepard is still connected with Cerberus.
