Glad you made the transition from lurking to posting, Kyledanger.

I would think Frodo's emphasis on a white oliphaunt is probably as you say, merely meant as a symbol for good.

Additionally, Frodo had before when crossing the Bruinen into Rivendell seen the white horses Gandalf had made appear in the flood, so that might have caused Frodo's association also.
