I wouldn't be so sure about that. I don't think it is going out on a limb to predict that President Trump will not be happy about a veto of his being overridden, and will be very vocal about that.
Has President Trump actually said anything about this issue? If he said he's against it and Congress still overwhelmingly voted for it then you are probably right--they would also vote to override a veto.
But if he has been silent on this and he vetoes it I would be shocked if a lot of members of Congress do not decide that they only voted for it because they thought the President was at least neutral on it and will realign their positions to conform to his.
