Correct. Thee same pronunciation exists in ancient greek for example ευ ζην is ef zin (the good life).
Also the ευ situation is a little more complex ie sometimes it is pronunciated as ev (depending if the next letter is a vowel).
Wikipedia suggests that "ευ" was pronounced /eu̯/ in ancient greek[0]. My suspicion is that "ευ ζην" is an Ancient Greek "fixed phrase" which is pronounced with Modern Greek phonology.
