Season 7 already went beyond Martin's timeline in A Dance with Dragons. Wikipedia (and Martin, and HBO) will tell you that it incorporated material Martin revealed to the showrunners about upcoming novels. So yes, it
has passed the books. And unless you think Martin can churn out two novels before season 8 (the final season) of the HBO series airs its 6 episodes starting in April, then it (the HBO series) will also conclude generally in the same way that Martin revealed to them that
A Dream of Spring would end. This is not speculation on my part. This is common knowledge. HBO will be adapting the end that Martin revealed to them (in fact, all the filming has been complete for quite some time) before the next book in the series hits the bookshelves.

Three books, three TV adaptations, and a quote from those involved that it could be some time before another season is broadcast stating, "I think they've always been quite clear that they'd never want to write one without basing it on the book. So you've got to wait." So you tell me if that TV show has passed the book series it's based on yet.
